About The Strokes

The Strokes, hailing from New York City, are a quintessential American rock band that emerged in 1998, spearheading the early-2000s garage rock and post-punk revival movements. Comprised of lead singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti, The Strokes quickly became known for their distinctive sound characterized by spiky guitars, chugging backbeats, and self-assured songwriting. Their debut album, "Is This It," released in 2001, catapulted them to fame and established them as a leading force in the indie rock scene. With a discography that includes six studio albums, including the Grammy Award-winning "The New Abnormal," The Strokes continue to influence and inspire with their timeless music. Despite their privileged backgrounds, the band's music often hints at a rough-and-tumble life, adding depth and authenticity to their sound. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, The Strokes' catalog offers a rich and rewarding experience that transcends genres and generations.
