Here we go, the first entry of your own favourite discoveries of 2010. This one was chosen by Patricia.
The National are a rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 that are currently based out of Brooklyn New York. The band is composed of Matt Berninger and two pairs of brothers: Aaron and Bryce Dessner and Scott and Bryan Devendorf.
In 1991, Matt Berninger and Scott Devendorf met while attending the University of Cincinnati where they also met Mike Brewer, Casey Reas, and Jeff Salem, to make the lo-fi garage band Nancy (named after Matt's mother). The band was together for five years, but only released one album, titled 3429 Ruther. The group slowly dissolved when Matt, Scott, Jeff, and Casey moved to Brooklyn.
Bryan, Bryce, and Aaron were childhood friends who played in several bands together over the years. When their last effort Project Nim broke up in 1998, they joined Matt and Scott in Brooklyn via the Devendorf relationship.
When the band was formed in 1999, it was called The National although the domain name of the band's website is americanmary.com because, according to Matt Berninger in an interview, "it's a song off our first record. We never thought of changing the (website) name, although we should have."
Single Lemonworld is from the 2010 album High Violet.
