There is a moment during this album that is so jaw droppingly stunning that you will be forgiven for thinking that you were in the presence of seasoned professionals who know a trick or two to tug on your heartstrings. It is a moment which belies the youthfulness and naivety of a band who are just starting out and gives you faith that yes, rock n roll may just be OK. That moment comes halfway through a debut album which may just well place The Narrows as one of the surprise hits of the year. This is made all the more important when you actually realise that the UK has not had a decent flagship band to call their own for a while.
