The American rock band, The Strokes was formed in New York City in 1998, and since then has risen to become one of this century’s most prominent indie bands. The group achieved critical acclaim upon the release of their 2001 debut album, Is This It, and have since gathered a large fan base around the world, particularly in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

The band’s present members are Julian Casablancas on lead vocals, Nick Valensi on guitar, Albert Hammond, Jr. on guitar, Nikolai Fraiture on bass guitar and FabrizioMoretti on drums and percussion.

A brief history of The Strokes

The band first performed at Luna Lounge on New York’s Lower East Side, as well as at the popular Mercury Lounge in Manhattan. The booker at the Mercury Lounge, Ryan Gentles, soon quit his job to become the manager of the band. The band began to rehearse a fourteen song set, and sent a demo to the newly reformed Rough Trade Records in the UK, which led to their first release.

The band released their debut EP, The Modern Age, in 2001, the songs of which were rerecorded with slightly different lyrics and song structures for the Is This it album. This album, which produced the singles “Hard to Explain”, “Last Nite” and “Someday”, entered the UK Album Charts at number two. By 2010, it had sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide.

Is This It’s follow-up, Room on Fire, was released in October 2003, achieving gold sales. This was followed in January 2006 by First Impressions of Earth, which reached number four in the US charts in addition to giving the band its first number one on the UK Album Charts. The band’s fifth album, Angles, was released in March 2011.
