We all had to wait what seemed like a very long 5 years without new music from The Strokes as a whole. Sure, Julian put out a solo album (which was quite good), as did Nikolai and Albert, Fab did his thing with Little Joy, and Nick worked with Devendra Banhart and Sia, but it [...]

Video: The Strokes - “Under Cover of Darkness” In which Julian Casablancas and the boys entertain an empty mansion with Angles single “Under Cover of Darkness” for their new Warren Fu-directed official video. Tuxedos? Check. Also: an anonymous conductor, sheet music, and imaginary audience applause. Works for me, I suppose.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the next 31 days I'll be posting something from my Strokes archives to honor the band's return to the New York City stage on April 1, 2011 at Madison Square Garden . Join me on this walk down memory lane... Here's a keeper from the New York Post , June 29, 2003. In an article explaining why Friendster.com is so cool, it name-checks Albert Hammond Jr. as a member of the social network [...]
He is a Stroke. He loves the Beach Boys, John Lennon, and the Velvet Underground. His dad is Albert Hammond. He is AWESOME. Download: Albert Hammond Jr.- Bright Young Thing .

Ah, yes, The Strokes are done keeping us waiting. Not only have they recently revealed their first new song in half a decade, as well as the cover art , but we’ve already learned what song we'll hear next. It’s called “You’re So Right”, and it’ll be coming at you two ways (three if you count the actual album). Exactly one month before they hit Madison Square Garden , you’ll be able to grab the song on March 1st as the B-side to their “Under Cover of Darkness” 7” single. What’s more, [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Q + A RCA Not only is the Strokes ' new album one of the most anticipated releases of the year, it's been a long time coming: 'Angles,' due March 22, is the group's first LP in five years. The musicians haven't been idle since 'First Impressions of Earth' came out in January 2006, but they did take an extended break [...]
For a long time, Albert Hammond Jr. was just the grizzled, quasi-bearded, occasionally afro-ed rhythm guitarist for The Strokes. For several years, he and Nick Valensi crafted some of the most pants-creamingly tasteful double guitar patterns this side of the Rolling Stones. After The Strokes released the half-decent First Impressions of Earth in 2006 they took a lengthy hiatus. Some had children, others participated in SNL skits, and Fabrizio Moretti formed cracked-out side projects with Devendra Banhart. Mr. Hammond (Jr.), however, released a solo album called [...]
Tweet "I'm tired of all your friends, Knocking down your door. Get up in the morning, give it your all. So long, my friend And adversary " You know for a long time it really did seem as if this was never see the light of day. With every passing year following the release of 2005's First Impressions Of Earth , the threat of the premature demise of the Strokes became very real. We had [...]
It doesn't seem like that long ago when we wrote about last year's most anticipate albums and here we are again anxiously awaiting another round of great new releases. Last year's bunch turned out seven really solid albums, and three other discs who have yet come to fruition. Let's start with the holdovers and then get to a fresh batch of new albums we can't wait to hear. The Strokes - Angles - 3/22 It might have taken a little longer than expected, but the new Strokes disc is right around the [...]
For those living under a series of rocks, the Strokes are back. Today marked the release of the band's first new song since way back in 2006. For those who've been following, you may have already heard the 30 second sample of "Under Cover of Darkness," and probably wanted more. Well, good news then. For the next two days, the song will be available for free download at the Strokes website , barring you sign up for it. But for those who don't even want to deal with that, just download it dummy.

Under Cover Of Darkness SINGLE REVIEW: So here's The "new" Strokes song "Under Cover of the Darkness". These jean jacket city boys are back to their quirky guitar play that they ripped-off in 1st place but hey you know the 30 something and milfy chicks are going to follow them right? They are the 2003 Mick Jagger of alt-bands. I mean why mess up a sound they borrowed in the first place -lord knows there is a lot of really pathetic disco out there. Also compared to [...]
Il est 21h, le décompte est terminé, et le dernier single des Strokes , "Under Cover Of Darkness" est en téléchargement gratuit sur leur site pour 48 heures. Un son pop rock, que l'on pouvait entendre sur leur premier album, comme les titres : someday ou last night . Des baisses de tempos très surprenantes. Julian Casablancas chante : "I've been all around this town/Everybody's been singing the same song for 10 years" . L'album, Angles , sort quant à lui le 22 Mars. Patience! The [...]

With rock songs like this it's hard to figure out where The Strokes guitarist might have been influenced by his father who wrote the song "To All the Girls I've Loved Before."
Yup, it's Sunday, and that means it's time to kick back, and read a magazine or book, surf the web, do Christmas cards or tree decorating, and fire up the S-25 Mix.
