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.

It is more or less one another little fan-letter, but anyway i really admire your music. i wish you guys much inspiration and i hope to see you someday live. Come to Estonia please, or Helsinki, Finland would be ok also. Argo
Enjoyed your concert in De Melkweg last night in Amsterdam. Play more funky stuff is my advise. Was very impressed when you did that. Great musicians you are, boys!

Hi guys :) Jeg elsker musikken deres, må bare beklage at jeg ikke var tilstede under konserten i Bodø! Håper dere kommer hit en annen gang, og da lover jeg at jeg er der :D
Konserten deres på fredag var fantastisk! Tusen takk for at dere gjorde konsertopplevelsen min fullkommen. Det var virkelig en opplevelse både å høre og se på dere. Må også få sagt at lysshowet virkelig var flott, det er så herlig å se at noen gjør litt ekstra ut av det! Tusen, tusen takk!
