Video: The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness

This is Julian Casablancas*. Not to get too smug on your sorry ass, but you may remember that The Strokes and I reinvented indie twelve or andldquo;nobody gives a shit any moreandrdquo; some years ago, wh

Tasha Lovecity is Editor in Chief at Demain Magazine and well, she knows her music. Check out her list for the proof and don't forget to check out the superb Demain too. New Look - New Look I’ve been waiting for a record from these guys for a long time. Something really endearing about the sparse beats and Sarah Ruba’s voice really reminds me of loads pop stars I loved as a kid in the 80s. ‘The Ballad’ is so beautiful I could almost [...]

Es época de listas, de recopilar todo lo “mejor” del año que poco a poco se esfuma. En este largo recorrido nos hemos topado con grandes listas, aunque siempre les falta o les sobra algo, es cuestión de gustos. Sinceramente, este año no pretendemos categorizar lo mejor [...]

"Essa é a minha música!" - Quantas vezes você já proferiu essa frase em toda a sua vida? Ou no último ano? Tudo e todos nesse planeta em que vivemos possuem seu próprio conjunto de notas e versos, dos países aos produtos, dos programas de TV a um casal de namorados... até mesmo os anos possuem suas músicas próprias. Então, se 2011 fosse um país, qual seria seu hino? Seria uma melodia calma e cordial ou uma canção agressiva e impiedosa? Se fosse um produto, qual seria seu jingle? Ele venderia entradas para uma festa, ou caixas de [...]

If you’re anything like me, (and I sincerely hope you’re not because I’m terrible), you’ve been waiting a long time to hear from The Strokes again.  Seriously, it feels like it’s been forever since their most recent album, First Impressions of the Earth , was released.  Oh, right, that’s because it HAS been forever!  It’s okay though because after a lengthy five year hiatus The Strokes are finally back and better than ever! The band’s newest album, Angles , was released just a couple of weeks ago and is definitely [...]

• The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness

Aðstandendur Hróarskelduhátíðarinnar 2011 birtu veggspjald komandi hátíðar nú í vikunni. Skemmtilegt er að sjá að Íslendingar eiga þar nokkrar hljómsveitir en Agent Fresco og Who Knew munu stíga á svið á Pavilion Junior sviði hátíðarinnar að þessu sinni á meðan Ólöf Arnalds treður upp sömuleiðis á öðru sviði. Auk íslensku yndisaukanna tilkynntu aðstandendur m.a. komu Arctic Monkeys, Bad Religion, Nive Nielsen & The Deer Children, James Blake, Bring Me To The Horizon, Foals, Gold Panda, Lykke Li, Rob Zombie, Soilwork, Swans, The Walkmen og New York riddarana The Strokes [...]

The Strokes Angles RCA, 2011 Corría el año de 2001, yo tenía 16 años y estaba terminando el colegio. Odiaba a todo el mundo, me la pasaba viendo Neon Genesis Evangelion y caminaba por mi colegio oyendo música enfundado en una chaqueta roja que me quedaba enorme. Era la época post-11 de septiembre y -la verdad sea dicha- había una sensación en el aire bastante chafa de '¿qué pasará ahora?'. Por ese entonces vine a toparme con los Strokes y su canción [...]

On March 22nd, The Strokes released their fourth full length album Angles . Before you listen to the album, its title and album cover art (originally done by Belgian artist Guy Pouppez) should give you a good impression of what to expect from the band on their most recent studio effort. Angles was recorded differently than the bands previous releases, the band began working on demos in 2009, 18 were recorded. The Strokes then began work with producer Joe Chiccarelli, but the band were not happy with the results. Relocating to guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.’s home studio [...]

  The Strokes ' newest release Angles came out on Tuesday. Let’s take a look at what some critics had to say. In what might be one of my favorite reviews I have ever read, Ed Comentale from Tiny Mix Tapes , gives the record a measly 1.5 out of 5 stars. He begins by saying, “I can listen to Julian Casablancas sing anything. It wouldn’t matter if he were backed by The Strokes or the house band at Ark Music Factory.” So [...]

While we're waiting for the album to come on 22th of March, let's enjoy a video directed by Warren Fu. click here to pre-order ---- new stuff at the online store http://slantedtoys.bigcartel.c omm

The New Yorkers, The Strokes have returned with a new album titled Angles and it is a breath of fresh air. To have an indie band come back to mainstream music with such a positive wave is comforting especially in a time when synthesisers and electronica can sometimes dominate the air and radio waves. Angles [...] Continue..

I haven't been able to get "Under Cover of Darkness" out of my head since the single dropped, and tomorrow, Angles, The Strokes' first album in five (!!!) years drops worldwide. You can order the album here, and if you are as antsy as I am, the album is streaming on the band's website. [...]

Stream it below. Then watch Casablancas and co in action performing their first single “Under Cover of Darkness.” “ Angles ” official US release date: March 22, 2011. - k

Under cover of darkness - The Strokes Iets meer dan een maand geleden postte ik hier al over de nieuwe single van The Strokes , die toen tijdelijk gratis te downloaden viel. Intussen is het nummer onweerstaanbaar bezit gaan nemen van mijn mp3-speler, de radio en nu dus ook van deze rubriek. [...]

The new Strokes album ' Angles ' has leaked and it is mighty fine! I can hear some Cars influences on a couple tracks, 80's samples, some new things with the way Julian sings and we still get the same great guitar licks we love from them, but most importantly for me is that they tried to push the envelope and not do the same formula Strokes record. We even get a slow song in last track "Life is Simple in the Moonlight" . All in all a [...]

After an extensive break from the limelight, New York City rockers The Strokes returned last month with a new single and a new album, 'Angles', scheduled for release next week. The Strokes have always been a cult rock band throughout the world, having found fame in both the UK and America. Their previous albums have been mainstays of any music collection of the past 10 years and with the hype around new album 'Angles', this is likely to continue. Having not released a single since 'You Only Live Once' in 2006, the [...]

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart reviennent enfin. Ils ont même eu la délicate attention de livrer l'intégralité de leur album en écoute. Belong sort le 29 mars et ces 16 jours sont autant de raison de se replonger dans l'histoire du shoegazing et de la power pop dont ils continuent à porter fièrement [...]

Au cas où vous ne l'auriez pas noté The Strokes sortent un nouvel album le 22 Mars, 'Angles' c'est son nom. On est obligé d'en parler, au moins de mettre la vidéo du premier single Under Cover Of Darkness c'est le minimum. Parce que c'est un futur classique dans la discographie du groupe et qu'il nous ramène en 2001, à une époque où on n'avait pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent...

Yo! Its time for the second in this years albums to listen to care of JP and Kobestarr. Have a gander play and listen to the tunes! The Strokes: Angles The Strokes will always be special to me. I fell in live with them at the same time I fell in love with my wife. I can even remember approaching her at the Student's Union Bar fuelled with red bull and vodka with Is This It pumping in my head and in my heart. [...]
