Label US

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.

Back In Stock

Room On Fire is a refining and tinkering with The Strokes sound, a carefully calibrated attempt not to fuck up too early in the face of untold temptations. The results are still sleek, sexy and thrilling, with a tantalising promise of even better to come .Thanks to the quintet's Lower East Side roots, Velvet Underground and Television references abound with these guys, but Boston new wavers the Cars, and in particular their hit-heavy second album, 1979's Candy-O, provide a more suitable point of reference for Room on Fire. As with Ric Ocasek and company, Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas and his cohorts have a Cars-like knack for sly riffs that creep deeper into ones consciousness with each listen. Not much longer than a half hour from start to finish, this 11-song is modest in intent and execution, and succeeds quite nicely on its own terms.
