History

Narrow Head formed in 2013 and released their debut album, Satisfaction, in 2016.[3] By this time, the group's membership had coalesced into the trio of Jacob Duarte on vocals, William Menjivar on guitar, and Carson Wilcox on drums.[3] In 2018, the group released the single "Bulma" and did a tour of the western United States.[4] In 2020, Narrow Head signed with Run For Cover Records and released the singles "Night Tryst", "Stuttering Stanley, and "Hard to Swallow" in preparation for their sophomore album, 12th House Rock.[5][6] Run for Cover reissued Satisfaction in 2021 on vinyl.

On June 12, 2022, the band released the stand-alone single "T.W.I.N." through Run for Cover Records.[7]

On November 7, 2022, the group released "Moments of Clarity" through Run for Cover Records as the debut single for their upcoming album Moments of Clarity. On December 13, 2022, another single from the album, entitled “Gearhead”, was released. The album is to release in February 2023. [8]
