Meg and Jack Are Back
The White Stripes are an American rock music duo from Detroit, Michigan, consisting of Jack White (principal songwriter, vocals, guitar, piano) and Meg White (drums, percussion, vocals). The group rose to prominence as part of the garage rock revival with their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant. The White Stripes are known for their raw, low-fidelity sound and simplicity of composition and arrangement, mostly inspired by punk rock, hard rock, American blues, folk rock, and country music. July 14 2007, marked their tenth anniversary as a band, with a show held at the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, selling out in twelve minutes.
Jack and Meg White's popularity really took off with 2001's 'White Blood Cells'. They were launched as brother and sister in 1999 for their self-titled debut album, two months after Meg had taken up drums. The pair deny ever being married to each other. Where did we ever get that idea from? Oh, probably just the divorce papers.
The success of this red and white Detroit duo is down to their minimalist lo-fi garage rock sound which is based entirely on guitar, drums and vocals. At times incredibly catchy, often brash and abstract but never predictable. (read more)
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back
And Im talking to myself at night because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it from the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you
Seven Nation Army Lyrics
