The National Tickets
“The National” is the American indie rock group appeared in New York by the musicians from Cincinnati, Ohio. The band was created in 1999 by Matt Berninger and brothers Dessner and Devendorf. Future musicians left work to participate in the project. After settling in New York, music became the main occupation for the participants, while at first it was only a hobby. The current lineup of the team comprises Matt Berninger (vocals, lyrics), Aaron Dessner (bass guitar), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Bryan Devendorf (drums), Scott Devendorf (bass guitar). The lyrics of the group are called “dark, melancholic and difficult to interpret.”
