Who knew Austra is a big fan of The Strokes . So good that they did a track for Stereogum's Tribute to The Stroke's This Is It compilation . The compilation features various acts from Owen Pallett covering Hard To Explain and the morning benders covering Last Night and many more. But I really love Austra's version of Alone, Together making a rock track into a electronica dance track. Have a listen to Alone, Together .

In the fall of 2001, The Strokes released their first album Is This It , which was critically revered and is generally known for making New York-based rock music cool again.

Contributing artists include Peter Bjorn & John, the morning benders, Deradoorian and others, but my favorite track comes from Owen Pallett , who reimagines "Hard To Explain" as a classical piano quintet, dressing up The Strokes' signature drive with elegant poise fit for a concert hall. In Pallett's description of the cover he references an interesting quote from [...]

Editor's note: We imagine that Arcade Fire's show at Manchester's MEN Arena won't have the same curfew issues as this Hyde Park show. So why not enter our contest for a pair of tickets to the show, if you haven't all ready? Full contest details here. Montreal outfit Arcade Fire 's trips to England are often something of conversation and big steps. Last year came the controversial decision to have the group as headliners for Leeds and Reading festivals, which was quickly followed by a huge European and world [...]

SGTMT

Tweet Yesterday two thirds of SGTMT headed to London's Hyde Park to watch Arcade Fire, with support from Owen Pallett, The Vaccines, Beirut and Mumford & Sons. In traditional style we dawdled too much and missed Owen Pallet and The Vaccines. Mumford & Sons were actually entertaining for three songs before SGTMT realised we wouldn't be able to stomach a full 70 minutes of the same tune and left to catch Arcade Fire and Spike Jonze's Scenes From The Suburbs film in [...]
