The Narrative is the eponymous debut studio album from The Narrative, released on 27 July 2010 through The Record Collective. The album was produced by Bryan Russell at RedWire Audio.
In 2008 The Narrative released their debut EP Just Say Yes. The EP received a successful promotion on MTV and MySpace. Recordings of The Narrative began in 2009 while they performing at concerts and especially SXSW and CMJ showcases. The Narrative received a chance to feature the national campaign launched for Propellerhead called Record, used on its recordings. The album was produced by previous producer Bryan Russell. Originally, the album will feature 15 songs, including "Magazines" and "Like a Prayer". "Magazines" was fused with "Starving for Attention", and "Like a Prayer" was never finished and recorded, being out of the track listing. The Narrative was officially releaded on July 27, 2010. After its release, the album was featured in the front page of MySpace U.S and Purevolume.com declaring them one of the "Top Unsigned Bands of 2010".
The album received reviews by Idolator,AbsolutePunk, Alter The Press, AltSounds who said, "Since the success of their 2008 EP, The Narrative have been touring the country and gaining a dedicated following.
