The Narrow

The Narrow is an alternative rock band from Pretoria, South Africa. The band was formed in 2002 by guitarists Emile De Jong and Sid, bassist Jow Feldtmann and drummer Nelius de Lange. Shortly thereafter Emile brought in his former Not My Dog bandmate Hanu de Jong as the band's vocalist, completing the line up.
Since forming The Narrow, the band very quickly developed their own sound and identity whilst retaining the best elements of their roots. Melodic hints of Deftones or even Muse are blended with the harder edge of Tool and Rage Against The Machine to generate a sound that is The Narrow.
The band are known for their intense and energetic live shows, becoming important fixtures and regular headliners of various major South African rock festivals such as Oppikoppi, Ramfest, Woodstock and Seasons Wither. The band has opened up for various international acts, including The Used, Violent Femmes, In Flames, Underoath and Deftones.
