History[edit]

2006–08: Formation[edit]

In 2006, after graduating, Jesse Gabriel decided to find some musicians to begin a musical project. He wrote a three-page open advertisement and submitted it to Craigslist. After some answers, he looked saw Suzie Zeldin's response, who was also looking for musicians to form a band, and they decided to meet.[1][2] They found that they had studied in the same school on Bellmore, Long Island, but never met. The two decided to collaborate in music, around October 2006, naming the band "January Window", before changing it to the Narrative. Zeldin spoke to U-T San Diego, explaining the following about the change of band name, "We came up with the name while we were recording the 'Just Say Yes' EP. At one point, we had put together a list of random band names, mostly from literary terms, poems, or song lyrics we liked and sent them around to our friends. For a short time, we settled on January Window which is from a Sylvia Plath poem. We ended up not liking it after a while and revisited the list and found The Narrative Paradigm which seemed a little wordy and pretentious so we shortened it to The Narrative. We decided it was a good name and have been happy with it."[3]

The band's first song released was the demo version of "End All Arrival", under the name January Window on January 1, 2007 on MySpace,[4] which was later used on their debut album. Jesse would not sing in the band initially, but Suzie asked him and he decided to sing "Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls. Following this "audition", Suzie was pleased by his voice and Jesse was thus included in the lead vocals and the back vocals.[5] Drummer Charles Seich was added to the band after being introduced to Jesse and Suzie for the purposes of recording their EP.[6]

In 2007, Suzie participated in many band projects, singing in Russian on "I'm Breathing... Are You Breathing Too?" by Envy on the Coast,[7] Fairmont's song "Melt Your Heart" from the album Transcendence,[8] and The Minus Scale's song "No Matter What I Say You're Going To Do It". She also sang guest vocals on the Dashboard Confessional side of the New Found Glory split EP Swiss Army Bromance song "All About Her", as well as on at least one track on the newest edition of the released Dashboard Confessionals, Wire Tapes Vol 2. Before the Narrative she also released solo material, such as the Excuses EP, featuring four songs.[9]

The Narrative spent the next couple years (2007–08) on Zeldin's cramped Upper West Side apartment writing songs to their first EP entitled Just Say Yes. The production of Just Say Yes was made without a big idea; Jesse explains, "we're really just excited about recording the songs we worked on."[5] The EP was produced by Bryan Russell, who gave to the group a directional help on developing its sounds, influenced by bands as Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Eat World. Just Say Yes was released independently on August 30, 2008.

Since its release, the band received two large promotions, when Myspace Canada featured the full EP for streaming on the website's front page. Through the years and late 2011–2012, songs from Just Say Yes were featured on episodes of MTV's reality TV shows: Real World: Brooklyn and Real World: Cancun, Jersey Shore,[10] Savage U,[11] TV shows on MTV2, MTV's Canada Peak Season as well on VH-1, Nickelodeon's TeenNick series Gigantic,[12] National Geographic and Starz. They also received an unsigned showcase on Absolutepunk.net,[13] Friends or Enemies Unsigned VIP Band and named in the AbsolutePunk Top 100.[14] On May 1, 2009, the band announced via Facebook that they would have a short tour with Destry to support the EP, in June staying within northeastern America. The East Coast tour started on June 18 to June 28.[15]

2010–11: Debut album: The Narrative[edit]

Main article: The Narrative (album)

In 2009, The Narrative began to record their debut album, entitled The Narrative. The band recorded the self-titled with the same producer of their debut EP, Bryan Russell on his studio Red Wire Audio in New York.[16][17] Different from their first release, production of The Narrative took an original direction, "We're not looking to sound like anything or anyone else. We might say, "Hey, this part reminds me of this song. Maybe we can take it in that sort of a direction and it'd be cool, but we never start out trying to write a song like one that has already been written," explained Jesse.[5] Without a bassist member, the group called their friend Ari Sadowitz to be the studio bassist for the album.

On July 23, the Narrative premiered the song "Silence and Sirens" in an acoustic version on the program of WOOD-TV West Vibe Eight West.[18] The Narrative was officially released on July 27, 2010, through the project "The Record Collective". On July 29, the band premiered the album live on a show at Gramercy Theater with Relient K and The Gay Blades.[19][20]

The album was featured on the front page of MySpace U.S and PureVolume.com who declared them one of the "Top Unsigned Bands of 2010",[21] The American Creative Top 20 Albums[22] as well featured in the national campaign, launched by Propellerhead Software[23] and leading A&R consulting agency Room 64, "RM64 Artists Record".[6][24] The band has been touring nationally with Eisley,[25] Relient K, Mae, including CMJ playing in the Big Picture Media showcase[26] and SXSW showcases during the year supporting the self-titled.[27][28] In September 2010, they were a featured band in the Alternative Press article "Unsigned Bands, AP Wants You!", stylized as AP&R in the issue No. 267.[29] On June 1, 2011 they appeared live on Fox 5 San Diego, while touring with Eisley, featuring a small interview and also performing the acoustic version of "You Will Be Mine".[30]

The band parted ways with their drummer Charlie in early 2011, later explaining that he left the band due to the financial difficulties of the band's expenses on the Eisley tour and personal needs.[31] The Narrative then brought out touring drummer and Long Island native Jay Scalchunes to help them complete a five-week stint of the Vans Warped Tour,[32] playing on Kevin Says Stage from July 19 to August 14, 2011.[33][34][35] On October 19, 2011, the Narrative made another showcase at the CMJ Marathon on Sullivan Hall.[27] The Narrative's song "Fade" was featured in the soundtrack of the film produced by Bob Fugger, The Chateau Meroux, released in 2012.[36]

On March 26, 2012, it was announced that the band had started work on their second studio album titled Golden Silence.[37][38] The album was produced by Bryan Russell and Justin Long and recorded in an English cathedral barn, built in 1900, in Upstate New York.[39][40] Zeldin said that the band took a new direction with the album, "We do feel like the [...] songs we recorded are more mature than our previous releases" she explains "We feel much more confident in the kind of music we want to make".[41] The band was helped by Jay Scalchunes to be the session drummer and Ari Sadowitz the bassist for the recordings of the album.[42]

To support the album production, the Narrative released through digital download their b-side compilation album B-Sides and Seasides on April 4, 2012.[43] The b-side features acoustic versions of the album The Narrative and Just Say Yes, and also two new songs "Hallelujah",[44] and "Make It Right". It also features covers of Radiohead, "Karma Police"[45] and from Brand New, "Tautou".[46][47] These songs were produced for the tour EP Kickstarter, supporting the band's 2011 Spring Tour; the campaign on Kickstarter raised about $8,500.[48] Some acoustic songs were also released on the support tour EP Nothing Without You.

The band stayed in the second step the contest with five, and won the 2º place.[50]

Timeline[edit]

Tours and live performances[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

Evan C. Jones from Alternative Press wrote, "The Narrative is a bit lengthy (eight tracks are more than four minutes long), and the craftsmanship the trio took into creating the album is evident. Hopefully this will be the last time The Narrative will have to self-release their music; labels, take notice."[83]

Tris McCall of the Newark Star-Ledger wrote, "The Narrative joins a wave of young, independent bands that recently have reaffirmed their commitment to the album concept, lavishing attention on sequencing, packaging, cover art, typesetting and, in some cases, old-fashioned storytelling..." and "The Narrative is the rare modern rock album that feels like a dialogue between equals – young songwriters struggling with romantic longing and interpersonal dissolution."[1]

Sean Reid of Alter The Press! wrote, in a review of their self-titled album:[84] "...with their self-titled full-length, its [sic] likely you could hear more from them, as its [sic] a record that is filled with depth, variation and there are moments where the band sound extraordinary [sic] good" and "With Straylight Run no more and Lydia soon to follow, I think fans will find an honest replacement in The Narrative, as this full-length is (at times) refreshing, captivating and filled with plenty of talent. 'The Narrative' covers a lot of ground and the trios [sic] hard work, creativeness and overall talent deserves all the credit it deserves [sic]."

In another article for Alter The Press!, Edward Strickson wrote, "When a record plays on personal weaknesses by playing dueling backing vocals like that it's hard not to sing its praises, but they are praises that are truly deserved, wielding might that lesser elements would have found it hard to conceive."[46]

Glenn Gamboa wrote in Newsday, "The band's Warped Tour shows will likely be their final tour for the year, as they get ready to work on the follow-up to their gorgeous debut The Narrative from last year."[35]

In another Newsday article, Gamboa wrote: "In the year since their CMJ debut, The Narrative has released its eponymous debut, gone on national tours and heard its music used on several MTV shows. And now, The Narrative is ready to play the festival again, hoping the indie-popsters will continue their momentum."[27]

On March 14, 2014, the Narrative was featured in Newsday's "Notable bands from Long Island"[85]

Becky Bain wrote in a "Popping Up" column on Idolator: "Their six-song album caught the attention of tons of music fans and MTV—so we can already imagine the good things to come when the band releases their debut 13-song LP this summer."[2]

"Seanholio" wrote, in a review on the Cool Try site: "I will start this review out by saying that I usually wouldn't review a rarities/b sides album BUT The Narrative are a special case. What other band would take the time out of their busy schedule to video chat with not just 1 but over 40 of their fans who helped fund their tour. During this video chat Vocalist/Keys player Suzie Zeldin mentioned that whilst they are working hard on their follow up to their debut self titled album they didn't realize how this album is more than just a b sides album. It has some brand new songs, it has alternate versions and it has covers. It is safe to say that this is a decent and proper release for 2012. And when a band is as dedicated to their fans as their fans are to them I felt it only fair to promote them as much as I could."[86]

Absolutepunk.net wrote, about the Unsigned Showcase: For our latest Unsigned Showcase, we are bringing you a stream of The Narrative's excellent EP, Just Say Yes, along with an exclusive new demo named "Fade." If you like Lydia, Death Cab for Cutie, or old Straylight Run, head to the band's AP.net profile to check out all the goodness.[13]

They too wrote in the "AbsolutePunk.net Top 100": "The Narrative are the kind of raw, young talent that makes lesser bands envious. The charming duel vocals of Jesse Gabriel and Suzie Zeldin on Just Say Yes are some of the best you'll ever find on an introductory EP, and the music is alluring in its own right."[14]

Another Absolutepunk.net article wrote: "The Narrative are easily one of the best unsigned bands out there and should find fans wherever they find listeners."[87]

Review Rinse Repeat said, "The Narrative have undoubtedly grown as a band since releasing Just Say Yes. Their self-titled album is an incredibly strong debut, laced with an abundance of wonderful songs, and a few slight, forgivable, missteps. From here, the world is in The Narrative's palm, they can only go on to bigger and better things."[88]

The Patriot-News, PENNLIVE wrote: "As heard on MTV's "Real World Brooklyn" and "Real World Cancun," The Narrative is known for its intoxicating vocals and diverse lyrical arrangements. This New York-based group is making its mark on the music industry with its story-telling theme."[89]

On Flavorpill, Andrew Phillips wrote: "Sure, they sound like wayward members of the Ben Gibbard brigade, but NYC indie-poppers The Narrative add an inspired pair of female pipes to the jangly emoisms of Photo Album-era Death Cab for Cutie. While their homage is strikingly similar — enough so that some may consider them a carbon copy — The Narrative's embrace of the former Barsuk band is so well wrought that, at times, they really do rival the original. The band hits town tonight alongside dancey, guitar-driven acts MakeupBreakup and Robes" [90]

Lushbeat wrote: "This young band knows how to structure not only a song, but an entire album, which is one of the most important aspects of the listening experience."[91]
