Being an ass, getting drunk and whatever floats your boat. This is what I think about my favorite band in the early year 2000. First heard of them in NU107, around year 2002-2003. From the lack of things to do and listening to new music, I came to like The Strokes.
First song I heard from them was Last Night, didn't even know them at that point. Then came Reptilia and 12:51 and I said... the tune sounds good and familiar, it's quite new and catchy to my ear. Then I decided to listen more in this "new music" program in NU107 called "Time Bomb" and found out that band was The Strokes. I listened to their every song and since then I've been hooked and liked all their songs.
The Strokes are composed of Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti. Albert also has his own compositions and it sounds great too. Listen to his song "Scared", its pretty good. Anyway, I like how Julian sings. Maybe its because I sound a bit alike ( I have a baritone singing voice) and its the closest kind of voice that I can sing without putting effort in it... uhhh ooookkkkaaaayyyy
Anyway, The Strokes became popular in the states for quite sometime now but they are more known in the EU. Although its not very popular here in the Philippines, in which I'm also very glad about that, quite many people know this band too. They are labeled as indie rock or post punk revival... but who cares, I don't like labeling anyway.
They are also said to be the "Saviors of Rock n' Roll", well who can blame them? They have a lot of good songs and most of todays sickening popular genre's (if you even call it a genre) today is Emo in which you can really say that music really needs saving!
note: I have nothing much against "Emo" music but these "scene" people really butchered it, A LOT!
