The National is an American indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999. The band consists of Matt Berninger (vocals), Aaron Dessner (guitar, keyboards), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Scott Devendorf (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). Known for their introspective lyrics and melancholic sound, The National has released numerous critically acclaimed albums over the years. Their music often explores themes of love, loss, and personal struggles, resonating with a wide audience. With their distinctive blend of alternative rock and indie folk influences, The National continues to captivate listeners worldwide.

Since their debut album "The National" in 2001, the band has gained a loyal following and received widespread recognition for their unique musical style. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Alligator" in 2005, which showcased their ability to create emotionally charged songs that resonate deeply with listeners. Subsequent albums like "Boxer" and "High Violet" further solidified their reputation as one of the most influential indie rock bands of our time.

In addition to their studio albums, The National has also collaborated with various artists and contributed to soundtracks for films such as "Win Win" and "Ex Machina." They have performed at major music festivals around the world and continue to tour extensively. With each new release, The National pushes boundaries creatively while staying true to their signature sound. Their evocative

back in stock. like rem when they were good, the national's superficially simple songs have a real depth and resonance. the national formed in 1999, when five friends from cincinnati, ohio met again after all of them had relocated to brooklyn, ny. they are aaron dessner (guitars, bass), bryce dessner (guitar), scott devendorf (guitar; bass), bryan devendorf (drums) and matt berninger (vocals). for years, the band had received critical praise but it wasnt until 2005 alligator that a wider audience finally discovered them. 'alligator' ended up in the higher echelons of scores of year-end critics lists and the band found themselves selling out large venues across europe, the uk and the us. written over the course of thirteen months at their homes in brooklyn, ny, 'boxer' is the result of a lot of hard work and marks a new chapter in the bands career. mostly recorded at tarquin studios in bridgeport, ct, it was then produced and mixed by the band and peter katis (interpol, spoon). 'boxer' hits as high as 'alligator' but is a different record just another classic album from a band on top form.
