The Strokes

Need we even introduce this? The quintessential 2000s Indie Garage Rock record - if it doesn't already appear in your record collection, well, what are you doing? Take this opportunity to correct that this instant! The American rock band's critically acclaimed debut studio album.

Building on their 2001 EP 'The Modern Age', the band members moulded compositions largely through live takes during recording sessions, while songwriter and lead singer Julian Casablancas continued to detail the lives and relationships of urban youth. Three singles were released from the album: 'Hard to Explain'/'New York City Cops', 'Last Nite', and 'Someday'.
