I saw Narration for the first time a year ago at Water Rats in London, and i can't get enough of them. They are amazing live, and the tracks on their MySpace are soooooo good.

 

Please please please have a listen to them if you can. More people need to hear about them (they're unsigned). I've spoken to the guys a few times and they're all really nice. I asked, and apparently Coldplay are one of their biggest influences.

not bad, some great songs.

Thanks a lot for listening to them Nash. I'm glad you like the songs. They're even better live. Where do you live?

i like the coldplay drawing above!

i was browsing the forum as ido, there is always people recommending bands and to be honest it gets a little boring, but i checked narration out and they're incredible.

 

Good one Lamorna!

yes i have listened to them now. they sound really good. they are more rocky than coldplay. do you think most coldplay fans would like them?

Hey! I think that most Coldplay fans should like them! They are a bit rockier, but the also do softer songs. I think they can cover both sides of music.... Maybe not the heavy metal fans. lol... But maybe. Have you seen their youtube videos? Search youtube for narration music. There's a song called New York City which i think is the closest to Coldplay.

i found the material on their myspace very boring and uninspired, the songs are tedious, the sound is formulaic...perhaps this kind of music is just not my thing, but then...the band is unsigned (not on an independent label either), and frankly, i can see why. sorry. :uneasy:

hmmm.... do you like the new coldplay album more than the old ones? i preferred the songs when they all had some kind or formula i think. i think the vida la vida track has been played a million times more than the rest of the album on my stereo because it does at least have some formula :-)

I love the new Coldplay album, but songs like Shiver and In My Place will always be up there with my faves because there's nice a balance between formula and intricacy (and melody of course)... The only way i could fault the new album is to say that perhaps too much of a weight has been put on the intricacies.

 

Narration i think also have that balance down to a T.
