The Strokes Will Try to Save Indie Rock Again Next Year
By DAVE ITZKOFF
As a new uncertain decade dawns, is rock music ready for a second coming of the Strokes? That vintage early-2000s East Village quintet, which was hailed as the savior of indie rock and then crushed under the weight of unmeetable expectations, said that it would reunite next year to play its first live shows since 2006. Julian Casablancas, the front man of the Strokes, told Billboard that the group would headline the Isle of Wight festival in Britain on June 12, alongside Jay-Z; the performance will likely be followed by other summer concert appearances in Europe and North America. “When we meet with the band and talk and play music, it’s just a different level of ease and comfort,†Mr. Casablancas told Billboard. “Everyone’s more easygoing and everyone feels more confident and just trusts each other a little bit.†Mr. Casablancas is promoting a new solo album, “Phrazes for the Young.†The Strokes 2001 debut, “Is This It,†was critically well received, but the albums “Room on Fire†(in 2003) and “First Impressions of Earth†drew weaker responses.

Can't believe that bands like the White Stripes(split) and the Strokes (reunion) are still making headlines.

Until The Bay City Rollers get back together, it's all we have.

Perhaps you've missed the fact that Roxette has released new material?

It's just the Strokes, but it's closer to good 'ole Strokes than their last effort...
