Now, I know you’re all used to Tiny Mix Tapes reporting on all the top hit-makers and your favorite song-singers, but I want to take a bit of your time to talk about this scrappy group of up-and-comers called The National. Not a whole lot of folks have heard them yet, but I see big things in store for them! With their new album, High Violet, set for release May 11, the Brooklyn-based go-getters are rubbing on a little elbow grease and announcing a huge tour worthy of the stars-to-be that they really are.
