The Strokes are an American rock band formed in New York City in 1998. Known for their garage rock revival sound, they quickly gained popularity with their debut album "Is This It" in 2001. The band consists of lead vocalist Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti.

With their catchy melodies, raw energy, and stylish image, The Strokes became a leading force in the indie rock scene of the early 2000s. Their music draws influences from classic rock bands like The Velvet Underground and Television while adding their own modern twist.

Over the years, The Strokes have released several critically acclaimed albums including "Room on Fire," "First Impressions of Earth," and "Angles." They continue to captivate audiences with their infectious hooks and energetic live performances. With a dedicated fan base worldwide, The Strokes remain influential figures in alternative rock music.

The Strokes' Angles. Available here on LP and CD.

Angles is The Strokes’ first true giant step forward from Is This It?. They tighten the striving that was spread thin across First Impressions with proven martial jangle: Fraiture and Moretti’s stoic grip on the beat; robotic-Yardbirds crossfires of crispy-fuzz and brittle-treble guitars. “Machu Picchu” is a sly union of cocky menace — a bony city-reggae gait, wet with echo — and the kind of rapid-strum fury that came with the choruses on early Who singles. In “Two Kinds of Happiness,” a motor-pop groove that recalls the smooth futurist lure of the Cars goes to exciting pieces: Casablancas’ dry, ragged howl hanging over a tense, stuttering rhythm and a field of stabbing-dagger guitars.
