- The National
The National are five men from Ohio living in New York since 1996: Scott and Bryan Devendorf (guitar & drums); Aaron and Bryce Dessner (guitar & bass); and Matt Berninger (vocals) - two sets of brothers and one best friend. They play smart, bracing and beautiful rock music. More about storytelling and great songwriting than hip atmosphere, they bring to mind classic artists. We've heard comparisons ranging from roue-voiced troubadours like Nick Cave, Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen; to classic band
