theres nothing original about this band, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Great band. Great barritone voice. I don't know if I'd consider them an 80s clone band..
Great Letterman clip:

Came across this Arcade Fire Letterman performance... I love how they jump right into the song:

I think the National is actually really original. I can see why you would associate them with those things, but beyond low voice and a strange/melancholy vibe, shit is PRETTY AWESOME.

thanks for the great links guys.
its not fair to label them clones but you know where i'm getting at.
from angels and airwaves to stellastar* and the bravery, it's awesome to find new music so heavily influenced by the great 80s bands.
