The National é uma banda de rock alternativo formada em 1999 por amigos de Cincinnati, Ohio.
As influências vão de Bruce Springsteen a Tindersticks. E as músicas são escritas e cantadas por Matt Berninger com sua diferente voz de barítono
O resto da banda é formado por dois pares de irmãos: Aaron e Bryce Dessner e Scott e Bryan Devendorf. Padma Newsome, da banda Clogs, frequentemente colabora no teclado e nos arranjos da banda.
