A sexy, stylish, and undeniably cool band, The Strokes are the future of rock & roll
The Strokes is a 5 piece band hailing from New York City, made up of Nikolai Fraiture (bass), Julian Casablancas (vocals), Albert Hammond Jr and Nick Valensi (guitar) and Fab Moretti (drums). Their The Modern Age EP kick-started a wave of hype that saw their 2001 debut record, Is This It achieve massive success and helped initiate an explosion of bands who squeezed brazen New York punk attitude into 3 minute pop songs.
In 2003, their second album (Room on Fire) hit stores and recieved critical praise, some critics citing this album as an advance musically and showed they weren't content to milk the formula that brought them their success.
Constant touring followed by a well-earned break (during which Casablancas married the band's publicist's secretary) meant that it wasn't until January 2006 that their third record, First Impressions of Earth was released. (read more)

Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice (oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)

Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)
