New York's The Strokes first gained favour on these shores with 2001's Rough Trade-released The Modern Age EP in 2001. They released their debut record, Is This It, in October of that year, noted for its melodic CBGBs-influenced garage sound.They've since released two further records, 2003's Room On Fire, and 2006's First Impressions of Earth, spawning such singles as '12:51', 'Reptilia' and 'Juicebox', and are generally accepted as being the band who rejuvenated British guitar music.
This is an underrated track from their second album.

ReplyDeleteNo shit. I meant that they influenced a good number of British guitar bands since.
My bad. I'm feeling ill, and therefore narky. I thought you were implying they were leading the British scene. Apologies.
