“It’s dangerous business going out your front door and to love someone even more so.” comments The Narrow on their first new track in a decade.
Recorded during worldwide restrictions on travel the band had to make use of what we had around them to record new music.
The Narrow comment on “Dangerous”
“Dangerous is a song like so many other songs about love. But love takes guts, and you’ll probably get hurt in the process. But deep down you know you were made to love someone…”
This year marks the 20 year anniversary for South African alternative-metal torchbearers. In that time, they have released four full length albums, three EP’s, earned 3 SAMA nominations and flooded the airwaves countrywide, rocketing to the top of the charts with their singles “Lonely-Lonely” and “You Don’t Get To Quit”.
Known for their intense and energetic live shows, they have headlined various major South African rock festivals such as Oppikoppi, RAMfest, Woodstock and Seasons Wither. As well opening for numerous international acts, including The Used, Violent Femmes, In Flames, Underoath and Deftones.

This track is legit. I am liking the direction that The Narrow are going with it. My gut is sensing that this is a sign of good things coming our way in the future and it’s making me smile from ear to ear. SA rock is alive and well and this track is definitely proof of that.

More info about The Narrow
The Narrow was formed in 2002 by guitarists Emile 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. In early 2003 the band released their debut album Self Conscious to wide critical acclaim and a South African Music Awards (SAMA) nomination. In June that same year founding guitarist Sid left the band and was replaced by Deon Kruger.
In 2004 the band released their follow-up album Travellers. The album earned the band their second SAMA nomination and the single “Lonely-Lonely” helped launch the band to greater recognition and popularity. In 2005 the band remastered and re-released both their albums, with added tracks of old and new unreleased material.
After a slew of international stints the band underwent a brief hiatus in 2007 but became active again in 2008. In 2010 they released their 3rd full-length album You Don’t Get to Quit, earning them their third SAMA nomination. In 2012 the band released Understated, featuring acoustic versions of previously released material.
