Narrow Head Are a Different Kind of Heavy Band | Profile by LizzieManno
Heavy bands don’t always get credit for their pop music bonafides, but Narrow Head are one of today’s best pop bands.

The album’s title track, which Puckett says is “maybe the most Jacob song on the record,” is perhaps the most confident they’ve sounded in their decade as a band. “We want it all / And I don’t care how / It’s okay to say you want more,” Duarte sings in the song’s opening line, which reads as much like a personal emotional breakthrough as it does a band’s declaration of rock-star ambitions.
