Throughout the years, members of Narrow Road have been involved with various bands, with some bands being direct spin-offs from Narrow Road. These "direct-spin-off" bands were either comprised entirely or with the majority of former Narrow Road members. The more prominent spin-off bands included: Ash Wednesday, Mella Fella and Bleeding Ink.
Ash Wednesday was formed in mid-to-latter period 1994, the band's sound containing an alternative/grunge/post-punk vibe. Former Narrow Road members initially included: Greg Reddin, Jason Nunley, John Huffmaster and Adrian James. Ash Wednesday's archived material is scarce, though two studio tracks may be found at the following link: https://youtu.be/iX7YavrDYzk
Mella Fella performed "java-rock" at various coffee shop locales from 1999 - 2000. The band's primary motto was simply "plug in and play", though a few lo-fi recordings exist of the Fellas, including a 2000 TV appearance on a local morning program. Former Narrow Road members included: Greg Reddin, Michael Wall, Brian Pearson and Kent Schreiber. Band links include:
