The National - Taking that Ohio angst global

Posted over 2 years ago
I have so much love for Matt Berninger and his band. The National are originally from Cincinnati, but moved to Brooklyn to set up shop as a rock band. Way to take the frustrations that Ohio poses to free thinkers and turn it into beautiful music.Brooding, heartfelt songs abound on all of their records and they are great live. Tonight @ The Wiltern if you are in the Los Angeles area...gonna be a great night.
