The National Parks
Listen to Monsters of the North
The National Parks (think, Of Monsters Men + Lord Huron + Coldplay), formed in Provo, Utah in early 2013 and recently released their second full-length album, Until I Live. Coverage from national outlets such as NPR’s All Songs Considered, All Music, and Pop Matters have added additional fuel to the momentum gained from the release of that album, which climbed both iTunes (#52 Pop) and Billboard (#5 Heatseekers, Mountain Region) charts and boosted Spotify streams beyond 2.5 million. The National Parks has backed up the success of their recorded music with energetic performances in 40+ cities in 16 states that left one recent reviewer to comment, "The indie pop band is laying out anthem after affable anthem, and in fine form...making a scrappy Utah indie outfit look like the next Foster The People. For all we know, they might be" (HeyReverb, Denver). They enjoy what they do very much.
