This article is going to be about one of my favorite bands of all time, The Strokes. They've been around since '98, and they're a New York based Alternative band with a garage band feel that never really seems to get old to me. Even if you haven't heard of The Strokes, you've probably heard them at least once or twice. Their songs have been featured in Guitar Hero 3, commercials, and more. They've accomplished a lot in the near 20 years that they've been together, and I'm really happy about that. I'd be even happier if they'd release a new poster with their next album, but hey, you can't always get what you want.

The Strokes consists of Julian Casablancas as the lead singer, Nick Valensi on Guitar and Keyboard, Albert Hammond Jr on Rhythm Guitar and Keyboard, and Nikolai Fraiture on bass, and Fabrizio Moretti on Drums. The five man group has collaborated with some really great musicians, including Regina Spektor for their song Modern Girls & Old Fashioned Men. Julian Casablancas was featured on Daft Punk's song Instant Crush on their 2013 album Random Access Memories. There's not many important musical artists that these guys haven't worked with. Albert Hammond Jr even has his own 3 albums that have been rather successful, especially on the Indie charts.

If you haven't given The Strokes a listen, you definitely should. They're the sound behind college parties in indie movies, long days at the beach, hangouts with friends, weed sessions, the usual. If you've never heard them before, you've got nearly 20 years of music to listen to, so get to it!
