About the Artist
Formed in New York City in 1998, The Strokes – comprising Julian Casablancas (vocals), Nick Valensi (guitar), Albert Hammond Jr. (guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass), and Fabrizio Moretti (drums) – exploded onto the music scene with their debut album, 'Is This It', in 2001. Hailed as a saviour of rock music, the album, with its raw energy, lo-fi aesthetic, and catchy guitar riffs, captured the zeitgeist and propelled the band to international stardom. Their distinctive sound, a fusion of garage rock revival, post-punk, and new wave influences, has remained influential throughout their career.
Over two decades, The Strokes have consistently evolved while retaining their core identity. Albums like 'Room on Fire' (2003), 'First Impressions of Earth' (2006), 'Angles' (2011), 'Comedown Machine' (2013), and the Grammy-nominated 'The New Abnormal' (2020) showcase their versatility and enduring appeal. From the jagged energy of early singles like 'Last Nite' and 'Someday' to the more polished, synth-infused sounds of later material, their live shows are a testament to their expansive discography.
