The Strokes Strike Again!

If you know me well... you may know that I am flipping out about one thing in particular. I've known for a good three months or so that the Strokes have been writing and recording demo's for a new LP, but the time is coming near, kids! Fab recently confirmed that the wraps are being put on the record, and that it should be released in September.

                                                          Don't worry boys, were waiting too.

With Julian touring in promotion of his new solo album Phrazes For the Young, and with Albert in and out of rehab.. I will admit... I was skeptical, but it is finally happening! In interviews Julian described the new record as being inspired by the likes of Thin Lizzy as well as A-HA, two of my favorites. I couldn't be more thrilled. The Strokes have a knack for evolving their sound, and creating something that is diverse and still reminiscent of their beginnings. These guys have been my favorite band for ages, so it will be interesting to see where the mighty wind blows them on this next album.

*update- The new album release date is still to be set, but is sure to come much later than it was originally deliberated. For now they are playing gigs in the UK and surrounding areas, which will have to do for now.
