The band consists of lead vocalist Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. When he saw the results — "I knew it was the perfect shot - simple, straightforward, graphic and just so sexy. The Strokes" owe more to "Joy Division" or "The Velvet Underground", than they do to either of the afforementioned (not to say massively over-rated) bands.Additionally, the album's original cover photo was replaced by a less sexually explicit artwork for the US market. Tracks like "Last Nite," "Someday," and "Hard to Explain" showcase the band's knack for crafting irresistible hooks and catchy choruses. But years on, the casual objectification and sexual provocation of the image speaks volumes about the music and fashion scenes at the time, and just how much they have changed. I'm surprised at how long it's taken them to do a pressing with both When It Started and New York City Cops but glad to finally own one.

Release Date: 12th January Thank you Strokes for saving us from Nu Metal and bland Post-Britpop indie.
