The National

Before their electrifying performance of "Bloodbuzz Ohio" at Riot Fest Toronto on September 7, 2014, The National had just released their critically acclaimed album "Trouble Will Find Me" in May 2013. This album marked a significant point in their career, as it showcased their growth and maturity, solidifying their presence in the indie rock scene. Known for their introspective lyrics and rich instrumentation, The National captivated the audience at Riot Fest, delivering an emotionally charged rendition of the song. As they took the stage, the band's chemistry shone through, making it clear that they had evolved not just as musicians, but as storytellers. It's fascinating to note that this performance comes during a peak period for the band, as they were also gearing up for their next album, "Sleep Well Beast," which would drop just a few years later, further expanding their artistic horizon.
