This week's Artist of the Week is The National. Now I'd never heard of them before about last Wednesday but I think they're actually pretty big news in certain circles. So if this doesn't qualify as a band you've never heard of I apologize. I actually heard a song of their's on NBC's Chuck and it was the only good thing I ever got out of that show.
The National is a monster combination of Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, The Strokes and The Killers. You should definitely check them out.
Their official website is: http://www.americanmary.com/ There is a link to them performing on Letterman as well as a National Public Radio show.

...I would say substitute The Strokes and The Killers for The Bloc Party and The Stills.
...but that is just my opinion. I honestly don't even hear a hint of the Strokes.
Good music though. Thanks.
For some reason I hear the Strokes in there. Maybe because I haven't listened to Strokes album in 4 years.
No excuses for me forgetting the Bloc Party in that description though.
