National Bird (Rock Tracks)

National Bird is a Minnesota-based Rock quintet that has been writing music and performing live since 2006. With a sound that integrates all the best things Rock has to offer, their catchy and well-written songs successfully extricate the things that can make music boring or pretentious. National Bird has released two EPs called The Rhythm of our Science and Veteran Beginners, and Rob van Allstyne of City Pages proclaimed that "if you skipped your morning cup of coffee, National Bird's adrenaline-stoking Rock attack should provide more than a kick to get you feeling wide awake."
