Just Say Yes is the debut EP by the Narrative featuring six songs and produced by Bryan Russell. It was released independently on August 30, 2008.
The Narrative started the recordings of Just Say Yes on 2007 to 2008 after the band meeting through the Craiglist Ad, in the apartment of Suzie Zeldin. According with Jesse Gabriel, the band took influences of Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Eat World to compose the sound of the EP. The band was helped by Bryan Russell in the development of its sound and direction of recordings.[1]
Just Say Yes was released through the project The Record Collective on August 30, 2008. After its release, the EP was featured in the front page of Myspace and also on episodes of MTV's Reality TV Shows: Real World: Brooklyn and Real World: Cancun, Jersey Shore,[2] TV Shows on MTV2, MTV's Canada Peak Season as well on VH-1, Nickelodeon's series Gigantic, TeenNick, National Geographic and Starz. They also received a very positive unsigned showcase on Absolutepunk.net,[3] or Enemies Unsigned VIP Band and named in the AbsolutePunk Top 100.[4]
The EP received positive reviews at AbsolutePunk.net[5] "If you do not love Just Say Yes upon first listen, then odds are you will by your fifth (and onto your thirtieth) for certain, as dissecting these little pop gems is as fun as getting lost in their surface grandeur."
