The sound of The Strokes is the result of frantic living,
and the late nights and the early mornings they've spent
making their music in New York City. Their music makes you
want to forget who you are, and unlocks the possibilities
of what you might want to be.
The Strokes are five close friends who began assembling
together at the Music Building in New York City sometime in
1998 to lay down the foundations of a rock 'n roll band.
Together on stage at a Strokes show you will see and hear:
vocalist/songwriter Julian Casablancas delivering biting
lyrics, Fabrizio Moretti beating his drums with furious
precision, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. moving smoothly on
his feet while his fingers effortlessly flow over his axe,
guitarist Nick Valensi with pick in hand tantali More...

Review about The Strokes
best song on impressions. | Reviewer: DAVE
------ About the song Heart in a Cage performed by The Strokes
Easily the best song on impressions, followed by vision of division. Never really got into juicebox, but the album as a whole is quite good. Heart in a cage is bloody fantastic though.
I dont want want what you want,
I dont feel what you feel.
See I'm stuck in a city,
but I belong in a field.

------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
i think it means you only live once we all think different ways you could choose one or the other but he points out different aspects of life different personalities nothing with religion that is hes opinion we should all respect it
it is indie.. | Reviewer: josh
------ About the song Hard To Explain performed by The Strokes
there are alot of diffrent genres of music that the strokes fall into and indie is one of them... so richard you are wrong about that im not trying to bash on the strokes and talk shit... i am a fan... all im trying to say is that there are always going to be people who argue with things they dont understand and what he is trying to do is get u pissed so you can waste your time telling him that hes wrong and thats what he wants just ignore him to the best of your ability and things will be fine.
ps... freedom of speech exists... dont mind critics they will always exist and theres nothing u can do.
this song is awsome | Reviewer: Carlos
------ About the song Clear Skies performed by The Strokes
The intro with the little piano melody gives the song like an oldies feeling to it. Its a little different than their usual stuff but it works its short with cool guitar solo and everything. The song is just thumbs up.
ever been to an indie party? the kids know how to have fun | Reviewer: dan
------ About the song Hard To Explain performed by The Strokes
the strokes are soooo indie and they are soooo good. in fact, they have been influential and inspired a whole army of a new generation of indie bands. and yes, there are other good indie bands. there were other good indie bands before them and after. if you dont like indie music that's fine, i love indie music and i think the strokes are fucking awesome.

I am hoping soooooo hard cuz Julian Casablancas is the cutest guy that ive ever seen in my life so i just hope, they make awesome music and should still be doing it.
incredible lyrics | Reviewer: elise
------ About the song What Ever Happened? performed by The Strokes
this couldn't better explain a guy who left me as well (he was "busy"). and when i was talking to my friend the other day about it she said, "What Ever Happened?" and it really triggered this song in my head and i realised how fitting it was.

------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
you guys need to relax. why did you look up the lyrics of this song? to leave your ignorant comments on whether or not you believe in god? my belief is that god exists and there are hundreds of religions to choose from to believe or not believe in him. the song is right, just be what you are. there is nothing wrong with this song. its just amazing. stop over analyzing everything sheesh.

------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
The lyrics are supposed to say
"and countless add religions, too"...not "and countless odd religions, too".
This is fact...how many religions are there??!! :D
I find it funny how so many people will analyze and break apart every little piece of such a beautiful song. We're not sitting here trying to convince each other if God is real or not. Let people believe what they want. We're all living on this world together whether we like it or not. The song is just trying to say..."live it up"! :)

OMIFRIKINGAWSH I'm so excited because there is a rumor saying that The Strokes got back together February 11,2009 and I have been waiting since sixth grade and I have been waiting for the to get back together for 3 years! But I have liked The Strokes' music since I was a little girl 'cause my dad got me listening to them and I still like them and I always will!!!!!

------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
I think everyone is taking that one verse and blowing it way out of proportion. You only live once, so you shouldn't try to shun others out of your life based on religion. End of story. That's that verse, in a sentence.
But the song is beautiful, and it's saying live life to the fullest with an open mind.
That's the best way to live. :)
God is as real as these words | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
that's because of the original sin. GOd is not a magic wizard that you call when you are in trouble. Imagine how many scientists have tried to figure out the beginning of the world and how they have tried to imitate God's creation, even though they have a lot of knowledge, they haven't. God has done a sacrifice of Love for you and for me...He has even allowed you to think He doesn't exist.
If you look for evidence of His existence through History, you will find...how can you say that then?

------ About artist/band The Strokes
I am an artist lifelong, my personal style was labeled eclectic by a person i trust and admire, one of the most talented individuals i've ever met, impressed me and inspired me... i never heard the word before, years later i looked it's definition, was astonished, i do exist, i am not the outcast, the burden of contact, instability, everyone hates, conflict, selfish, boastful, delusional, deserves to be hurt... I found myself, when i found this band... Just want what you want, and see what you cant see... when you look a me, what you hate is what you lack... the feeling to see, freedom to fail, mean what you say... You say to be mean, the meaner the better conforming me into the better a dreamer... this will all backlash someday... thats not OK!...the love that now draws me, is not Love, a derivitive of Pity Sympathy... I always Loved you!, you always liked me!...

You say christ wasn't the son of god. That's not even the half of it. See, there are all these religions, but christ was the one God that gave his life to people. He made the blind men see. He is sower the seeds. We all (regardless of religion and belief) have our life and sins attoned for by his blood, and other religions believe that you're not worthy and we're evil sinners, bound to burn in hell unless we believe their faith. And I don't worship a church, I worship God. Come on, you only live once, but you also die. Repent.
Thoughts of a Dying Believer | Reviewer: Adam
------ About the song On The Other Side performed by The Strokes
I don't think the song has a specific point or meaning. I imagine him writing this during a time of reflection, and overall scope of his thoughts about afterlife, etc. That may have been sparked by him asking "Why do I feel this way about these people?" I personally just like the edgy funky style that they've got.
BEST BAND EVER. | Reviewer: Izzzy
------ About artist/band The Strokes
The Strokes are by far the best band that I have ever heard and that has ever existed. In the days where all I hear on the radio now is sex & alcohol in hip hop or nasty pop, I have The Strokes to keep me sane. I love this band more than I could even begin to explain. Fab's drumming is always so precise, Albert's passion when he plays his riffs is clear and intense, Nikolai's "don't want to be noticed" persona makes his creative bass lines come forward, Jules' deep lyrics and raspy voice draws us in so quickly, and Nick's unique solos are always refreshing to hear.
There are very few bands out there in which every member is equally as famous as the next. In The Strokes, there is no single part that stands out the most in their music or their group. The ecclectic mixed personalities it what makes them, them. <3
I wanted you and you wanted me | Reviewer: D.M.
------ About the song Automatic Stop performed by The Strokes
I really liked this guy and he kept saying that he needed more time to get over his girlfriend and their breakup he told me he liked me though. He was a train moving too slow you could say."I wanted you and you wanted me." I am still waiting but won't wait forever.

------ About the song Hard To Explain performed by The Strokes
Indie isn't crap, in fact its pretty sick. but that doesn't mean its okay to label songs shit then go love them for the fact that you think they're indie. the strokes aren't indie. listen to kimya dawson or antsy pants.... just go watch juno. then come back and listen to last nite, hard to explain and you only live once then you'll know what indie is and the strokes aren't indie...
GOSH!!!

bye
Philosophy | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song You Only Live Once performed by The Strokes
I agree with the idea that this is an individuals opinion, and also that you can interpret it whichever way you want (bible bashing/alcoholism/Acceptance of god) I dont mind religions, as long as they keep thier damn agendas out of my way. Im tired of every religion proclaiming that they have it right. Chrisitanity is deeply flawed. Christ son of god? really according to who? the Bible? and who wrote the Bible? god. So did god come down from the sky and write out the bible? No, well then how did he write the Bible?. and so on and so forth. Hinduism why do we worship elephants and cows? Islam.. dont even get me started. So yes, i agree this song can be whatever you want it to be, and so in that case is philosophical as it makes you reflect. "just love the song, love your choices about your life, and smile." what utter bullshit. Love you choices i mean seriously what if you choose to rape and kill? dont love so much now do you?

I do not think its about alcoholism, i think it just means its easier to get past the anger you have of someone you like, whether it be because they rejected you etc. That's my interpretation at least, but i will not claim to "get" it.
