Hardcore super group Narrows follows up their not amazing but promising self-titled 7” with New Distances. The band consists of guitarists Jodie Cox(Tropics), Ryan Frederiksen(These Arms Are Snakes/Nineironspitfire), drummer Sam Strothers (Quarantine/Makeout Boys), bassist Rob Moran(Some Girls/Unbroken), and vocalist Dave Verellen(Botch/Roy). If you’re looking for intensely heavy music with breakdowns and blast beats you won’t find it here. New Distances takes a very different and intelligent approach to hardcore.
All in all Narrows put forth a unique album that raises the bar for Post-Punk/Hardcore bands today. This side project was started as a way to get some things off of their chests and you can feel their frustration and rage throughout the album. I will say that this album is not for everyone but it will satisfy anyone wanting to hear more of Dave's voice. The only problem with the album is that the pacing may throw some people off and the last track doesn't have the power of the others. Rob Moran summed it up pretty well in an interview by saying “People should just take this for what it is...people you may or may not know playing music. It is a new band and people will either like it or not.”
