Narration

In 2007, Narration played their first show as a three-piece at a convent school – an unlikely venue to debut their ?Brilliant, trembling car crash romanticism' (The Fly). By Christmas, XFM were guaranteeing that Narration were ?On their way to big things' and playing the demo of a track called ?Miracle'. A tour of Britain and a handful of dates in New York followed, before the band were ushered into the studio to begin some vigorous recording sessions. ?Miracle' has now been produced/mixed by Mark Williams (Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, Fightstar) and will be released in June. Backed by the eight-minute saga ?Please Show Me The Lights', the single takes us through a landscape drawn by Bruce Springsteen, lit by candlelight, and then set on fire by Peter Gabriel or Billy Corgan. Compared to Muse, “a very English version of My Chemical Romance, or a Coldplay pumped full of thunder and lightning,” in an end of 08 summary by The Fly, support for Narration is strong. 6 Music played ?Not Alone' (the band's iTunes exclusive) and American East Coast station WBRU have been belting out a live version of ?New York City'. In the press, Classic Rock wrote that Narration are ‘Fiercely melodic with impressively catchy songs. their formula is winning hearts as well as turning heads’, and Kerrang's Mischa Pearlman wrote on the Aloud website that Narration are ?The new kings of the live circuit'. Gigwise note too that ?it's pretty clear why these guys are making waves. these memorable tracks are radio play dreams' and Subba-Cultcha add that the ?dynamic, emotive Narration make a great first impression.' That much is certainly true. In times of depression, when everyone’s focused on down-sizing, this band have got their focus set on a brighter horizon. Let them take you there.
