i know they have been around for a good few years now, and i have always been familiar with their singles but was only introduced to their first album, 'Is This It', just recently by one of my house-mates...

i was totaly blown away by the record, every track is quality and the two singles which most people will be familair with compliment the album perfectly. their lead vocalist sounds almost uninterested when he sings which somehow works really well, and the melodies incorporated by the guitarists are beautiful...

i got hold of their second album today and plan to listen to it, maybe tomorrow on the way to work, they have also recently released a third album which i will get round to in good time...

anybody else here into The Strokes?
