The National

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
With critical raves for their last album still echoing through the rock world, The National return with their fourth album, "Boxer." This latest collection of melancholy songs and new-wave-tinged guitar work grows more rewarding with repeat listens. As these Brooklyn-based Cincinnati natives kick off their U.S. tour, the group stops by Soundcheck to perform live in our studio.
