One of our personal favorite bands is The National. Not only due to their Cincinnati roots, but also just because they make amazing music. So imagine our enjoyment to see that The National have announced not only a new album, but also a tour to support it. The album title is “The Boxer“, with album art to the right. It will see a release on May 22nd and here is the tracklisting….

1 Fake Empire
2 Mistaken for Strangers
3 Brainy
4 Squalor Victoria
5 Green Gloves
6 Slow Show
7 Apartment Story
8 Start a War
9 Guest Room
10 Racing Like a Pro
11 Ada
12 Gospel

The tour will kick off in New York and includes a spot at Bonnaroo and a Cincinnati date, as the band remains true to their hometown.

The full tour schedule is listed below…..

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
