The Lonely Island is widely known as the modernized bro-ified version of Weird Al Yankovich adapted for the modern world bc they make zany viral videos. Their brand of humor is the ‘it’ style of humor for teens on the internet across the USA. Julian Casablancas, lead singer of the Strokes ‘collab-ed’ with the Lonely Island on a song called ‘Boom box.’ I...

Screaming Females interview
Saving Rock & Roll (Again) They have just been personally asked to support The Dead Weather on their first US tour, meaning they will get to share the stage with one of their heroes. I talked to Screaming Females drummer Jarrett D about the band’s own burdening guitar hero, New Brunswick basement shows and his admiration for The White Stripes. New Brunswick is a strange town, one...
Video Footage of the Strokes ‘in studio’ finishing their album.
Since the 2k0 decade is over, the altosphere learned to stop ‘backlashing’ against the Strokes, and instead learned to ‘appreciate them.’ Because of this recent shift in public perception, their latest ‘LP’, due in September is possibly one of the most anticipated albums of the past 25-50 years. In this video, you can watch meaningful studio moments as...
Lemons
Myspace // "Vamos a Considerar" [Audio] Monterrey, located in NE Mexico, is the hottest spot right now in the country for new music, and it’s across genre lines as well, from dance to acoustic to indie.

The Strokes MP3s

Julian Casablancas single
‘Eleventh Dimension’ Thanks, Zane Lowe! After the recent announcement and subsequent excitement of The Strokes singer Julian Casablancas’ debut solo album comes a radio rip of his first single, ‘Eleventh Dimension’, mere hours after it was first played on Lowe’s show. Phrazes For The Young’s lead song is everything I hoped for and more. While at first it...
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Static Jacks - Stay A Lover + The Waltz
Photo Credit: Ali Donohue It’s hard to find a piece of press on The Static Jacks that doesn’t mention the Strokes, but aside from the band’s young age (18) and affinity for tight denim and boxy guitars, that comparison is tenuous. For one, the Strokes hardly ever play in the 6/4 cadence you hear in "The Waltz". They also never sounded like they were having as...

The Strokes Reviews

Julian Casablancas- Phrazes For The Young
Julian Casablancas- Phrazes For The Young 8/10 Marrying sunny melodies with despondent lyrics, The Strokes’ lead singer and mastermind Julian Casablancas has shed his gritty punk rock demeanour for more eclectic experimentalism with his debut solo LP. Perhaps it was a determined move to ensure his detractors had a harder job pigeonholing him, harder than they’d have to try with...
1234 Festival
Venue: Shoreditch Park, London Teaser: Tillie reports from Sean McClusky’s 1234 festival, with reviews of The Whip, Bono Must Die, and Har Mar Superstar… Pull quote 2: Bono Must Die… should be added to everyone’s To Do List, were fast, rock, crazy, hard and psycho. First para: With summer finally deciding to show its face, hitting the Shoreditch...
My Teenage Stride + Pow Wow! | Cameo | 4.02.2009
It’s hard to tell how serious My Teenage Stride are as a band. Some of their songs seem like attempts at mimicing other bands (The Wedding Present, The Chills) and main man (and MTS’s only constant) Jedediah Smith is prone towards jokey stage banter, like introducing themselves as other bands in between every song. ("Thank you! We’re Megadeth.") I guess it doesn...
