The National Bank is a Norwegian rock/pop band, whose debut album was released in Norway in 2004 and featured the hit song "Tolerate".
Consisting of musicians already well-known in their native country, from such bands as Jaga Jazzist, Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, In The Country and Bigbang, and featuring the accomplished singer-songwriter Thomas Dybdahl on vocals, The National Bank was immediately labeled a "supergroup" in the vein of Cream and Emerson, Lake and Palmer upon their arrival on the music scene.
