Narrow Head share new single "Bulma"

Narrow Head are embarking on a tour of the West Coast and have a new album in the works, but for now, they've shared a fuzzy new single over at New Noise Magazine. The track, "Bulma," harkens back to your 90s emo days--distorted guitars, hazy vocals and tight drumming makes this one meant to be played at a high volume. New Noise thinks this song soars: " The track feels at one with the sky above, giving a warm atmosphere that shines through the cloudier of days." Take a listen below and check out if Narrow Head will be in a city near you soon.

Kid Dakota shares lead single from 5th studio album

The album was written during an extremely challenging period for Jackson, after a horrific and debilitating motorcycle accident.
