The National Acrobat was an American hardcore punk band formed in late 1998 by guitarists Evan Patterson and Robby Scott, bassist Ty Kreft, vocalist Casper Adams, and drummer Phil Stosberg. Their debut release, The National Acrobat, was published in 1999. The band toured with Dead Season and underwent lineup changes, including the addition of Ryan Patterson and Tod Depp. In 2000, they released Can't Stop Casper Adams, which was noted as their defining work by Allmusic. Internal tensions led to the band's dissolution around this time. Their complete recordings were compiled on TNA: The Complete Recordings, released in 2004.
