About

The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City that formed in 1998. It has maintained the same lineup since inception: lead vocalist and primary songwriter Julian Casablancas; guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr.; bassist Nikolai Fraiture; and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. They were a leading group of the early-2000s garage rock revival and post-punk revival movements.

The release of their debut EP The Modern Age in early 2001 sparked a bidding war among minor labels, with the band eventually signing to RCA Records. That summer, they released their debut album, Is This It, to widespread critical acclaim and strong sales. It has since appeared on numerous "greatest albums" lists. It was followed by Room on Fire (2003) and First Impressions of Earth (2005), both of which sold well but failed to match Is This It in immediate critical success, despite generally positive reviews.

Following a five-year hiatus, they released Angles (2011) and Comedown Machine (2013) to generally positive receptions but dwindling sales. Following the end of their initial contract with RCA, they released the Future Present Past EP (2016) through Casablancas' label Cult. The band were relatively inactive throughout the rest of the decade, making infrequent live appearances and directing most media attention to individual projects.

In 2020, they released their first studio album in seven years, The New Abnormal, produced by Rick Rubin and released through Cult and RCA. The album received highly positive reviews and was considered a return to form by critics. It went on to win Best Rock Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The band's seventh album, Reality Awaits, was released on July 24, 2026.

Formé en 1998 par Julian Casablancas (chanteur et auteur-compositeur) avec Albert Hammond Jr. et Nick Valensi (guitaristes), Fabrizio Moretti (batterie) et Nikolai Fraiture (bassiste), il gagne sa popularité internationale dès la sortie de son premier album Is this it en 2001, devenant l'un des groupes phares du renouveau du rock, garage rock et post-punk revival. Ils sont souvent désignés comme les héritiers du Velvet Underground et de Television, dont le groupe s'inspire principalement.

Depuis ses débuts, le groupe new-yorkais a produit 7 albums studio, vendus à plus de 5 millions d'exemplaires après plus de vingt-cinq ans de carrière et plusieurs évolutions dans leur univers musical avec des inspirations synth-pop, art-pop et new-wave.
