The Strokes

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Equally inspired by classic tunesmiths like Buddy Holly and John Lennon as well as the attitude and angular riffs of fellow New Yorkers Television and the Velvet Underground, the Strokes were also equally blessed and cursed with an enormous amount of hype -- particularly from the U.K. music press, whose adulation for the group rivaled their fervor for Oasis in the early '90s. Barely in their twenties by the time their debut album, Is This It, arrived in 2001, singer/songwriter Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond, Jr., ba...[more]

 

 

The biggest release of 2003, "Room On Fire," is the Strokes' highly anticipated follow-up to "Is This It?." And guess what? This IS it. It's got all the punch, sass, and irresistible catchiness of "Is This It?" and then some. Totally amazing.

DELUXE DIGIPAK VERSION. First Impressions of Earth is the third album from The Strokes, and its 14 songs form an extremely persuasive argument that The Strokes are no longer just the most important band of their generation, but also well on their way to becoming one of the world's biggest bands, period.

VINYL FORMAT. The biggest release of 2003, Room On Fire, is the Strokes' highly anticipated follow-up to Is This It?. And guess what? This IS it. The other day, we listened to it about 11 times in a row, because it's got all the punch, sass, and irresistible catchiness of Is This It? and then some. Totally amazing.

VINYL FORMAT. Domestic full-length. Blessed and cursed with an enormous amount of hype from the British press, the Strokes prove to be one of the few groups deserving of their glowing reviews. Granted, their high-fashion appeal and faultless influences -- Television, the Stooges, and especially Lou Reed and the Velvets -- have "critics' darlings" written all over them. But like the similarly lauded Elastica and Supergrass before them, the Strokes don't rehash the sounds that inspire them -- they remake them   [ read more ]

Powered with overridden vocals, smart guitar riffs, and captivating vocal phrasing, The Strokes manage to make something new out of something old. Through their dynamic live shows they have built a deafening buzz from coast to coast on national tours with opening stints for Guided By Voices and Doves, jolting to life a sleeping New York City rock scene. All but one of the band members were born and raised in Manhattan, making them the quintessential NYC band. When Albert Hammond Jr. relocated to NYC from Lo   [ read more ]

Why would a comeback from one of the most-talked about rock acts of the 2000s arrive just after the holidays, when the music industry is usually still hibernating (or hung over)? Optimistically, they could be taking advantage of holiday money and gift certificates burning holes in the pockets of their fan base. Less charitably, they may be trying to avoid tougher competition later in the year -- or worse, just trying to bury the album altogether. With the Strokes and First Impressions of Earth, it'   [ read more ]
