The National Bank is a Norwegian jazz/rock 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 and BigBang and featuring the accomplished singer-songwriter Thomas Dybdahl on vocals, The National Bank was immediately labeled a “super group” in the vein of Cream and Emerson, Lake & Palmer upon their arrival on the music scene.

In February 2008 they released a new album, called Come On Over To The Other Side.

Members
Lars Horntveth (guitar)
Martin Horntveth (drums)
Thomas Dybdahl (vocals)

at first i disliked it that all norwegian bands are similar here on last.fm. but i never would have found this band without the norwegian tag. extremely beautiful music. i think that the band Holopaw from the USA are musically similar to The National Bank.
