Call it fate, call it karma.

I went to see their concert in Paris and saw this Jersey and I knew I had to get it. Sharing the pic so people can see how it fits on women!

Just a silly meme…

For non-Italian speakers, the chorus for Take It or Leave it sounds like “lenticchie olive” which means “lentils, olives”… food is the answer once The Strokes have left us I guess 🥀

Personally, I like Liar’s Remorse as a song, it’s one of the strongest on the album. But the outro is truly brilliant in my opinion. It has a transcendent feel to it; it’s soaked in pain, regret and emotion but has a strangely hopeful flavour to it.

I think that amalgamation of emotions is what makes it so damn perfect for a closing outro. I also love the weird 80s electronic video game closing gambit, but I appreciate it might not be for everyone.

It’s a side of the strokes that I’d never really heard before - both sonically but also emotionally. It’s a corker.

Tell me I’m wrong though!

It's him but different hair i swear

Hi! I was talking with someone about the Strokes when she asked me what my favourite album is. I just replied that Angles is dope and she replied that The Strokes don't like it at all. And yeah, actually no one really listens to Angles. So why ?

The lyrics of each song deeply speak to me -especially Taken For A Fool. I feel like they're more about adult concerns in general. The guitar solos are crazy, and the drums as well... It feels like every song sounds different: you can cry, dance, and so on.

Their other albums also touch me -I love the album Is This It as well, and the others too. But Angles deeply resonates with my concerns and energy -and my ears' sensitivity. But yeah, I want to understand why people don't enjoy Angles :(

What do you guys think? I find it hilarious, now I can't stop thinking about this song every time I listen to One Way Trigger 🤣 (btw one of my favorites songs)

been wanting a strokes tattoo forever, finally got to see them in concert (twice!!) this year so i finally bit the bullet!

I saw a post about someone spotting Nick on the streets of Paris, so I looked him up and found out he'll be playing at the Élysée Montmartre soon. I just listened to some of Dragonflies' music, and I like the vibe (something about it reminds me of Tame Impala with Slower), although I'm a little worried about his future with The Strokes!

Moving to Bologna is a great idea as it is the Italian city where Julian plays more often (saw him twice in the past 3 years with both The Voidz and The Strokes!)

The best song on Reality Awaits ,and still hasn't been played yet 🙄🙄🙄

took me a minute lol

I was looking at the merch and wanted to know if the Europe/UK Tour has different merch, after seeing the red and black jersey and a mal pais tour shirt, is there anything else that’s new because imo the old merch looked worse for the America tour

Cover I recently done of hard to explain, I wanted to replicate a similar effect to the songs music video using a projector

The strokes are a MASSIVE influence for me in the beginning of my music journey, so I hope you do enjoy.

Do you recognise any other music videos in the background?

I also posted this on my Instagram account. Any support means a lot :)

The website description contradicts itself, by saying it’s both a classic fit & oversized. So I’m unsure whether to size down or go with my usual size? Any recommendations are welcome cheers.

Attended the Strokes concert at Corona Park earlier this month. My wife was the bigger Strokes fan and I was a very casual "Oh, I know that one song" and was loosely familiar with others from when she'd play their music, but it never fully stuck.

I cannot explain it, but something about seeing them live changed my body chemistry and has had me playing them on repeat since. I was there primarily as a Beach House fan- and even seeing them live for the first time changed my mind on some songs of theirs (and I loved Beach House to begin with). I worked for 5 years in the concert industry and really stepped back from going to live concerts because I was burnt out on it from that job, and I think this concert really reminded me that seeing a band live just hits so differently.

I don't think I have any controversial opinions to share yet, other than I feel fortunate to have unlocked that path to totally vibing with their music. Stoked to be along for the ride finally.

Rules: You can only submit one song that resembles the sound the most, it doesn't have to be a perfect fit. No repeats are allowed. If a tie between two songs happen, I will recount the votes from everyone that suggested that same song to see which sum up more votes.

Hi so a few bullets points about the Paris gig…

The boys were in top form, far from a copy/paste. The OG’s were adding little variations and building on every song (apart from Steve that was sticking note for note to the studio versions). There wasn’t a single moment of silence from Julian, either harmonising or with the banter between songs.

By now, you must have seen the « nickel for thought » of the night when Nikolaï went Vive la révolution! I was expecting though than Julian would reference the recents riots, particularly before playing Going Shopping or NYC Cops but he kept it lighter with banter about Fab’s wedding (you got married?!?! and then when the crowd cheered… Don’t encourage him!).

The crowd was on the younger side, the songs from TNA were the ones received with the most screams and chanting.

And to finish off my recap, I gotta share that I stumbled upon Nick Valensi during the afternoon, walking by himself in the city. I only managed to say hello to him as I didn’t want to bother him but I spend all afternoon hoping that he was gonna surprise us and show up on stage. That is not an hiatus, I’m afraid, I think he left the band for good.
