The National Debut A New Song

The National were in CBC's Studio Q recently and performed a new song, tentatively titled, "The Runaway" from their much anticipated fifth album (which has no release date as of yet). I definitely recommend using headphones if you got em'.

Our friends Consequence of Sound also have another new song entitled, "Blood Buzz Ohio" the band played at live performance a few days ago in Montreal.

Grizzly Bear: An In-Studio Performance (Live on WNYC)

Earlier tonight Grizzly Bear performed a special stripped down acoustic set in NPR's WNYC studio. In addition to performing new songs off their new album Veckatimest, which by the way will finally be released on Tuesday, David Garland also spent some time interviewing the band as well.

Stream the nearly hour long performance here. Also check out some pictures of the band in the studio. (via @EdwardDroste twitter)
