Collection: 2003 - Browse By Year

2003 was the year the garage rock revival graduated from the underground and exploded into the mainstream. It was a time of raw guitar riffs, stripped-back production, and a swagger that felt both nostalgic and thrillingly new. This was the sound of leather jackets, sticky floors, and anthems that defined a generation. Our 2003 collection captures the raw energy and creative spirit of this pivotal year in music.

This was the year The White Stripes cemented their iconic status with the globally acclaimed Elephant, a masterpiece of raw power and bluesy grit. It was also the year The Strokes returned with Room on Fire, solidifying their effortlessly cool sound. Beyond the garage rock scene, the year was incredibly diverse. OutKast delivered the ambitious and genre-defying double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, while Yeah Yeah Yeahs unleashed their electrifying debut, Fever to Tell.

Spinning these records on vinyl is the way they were meant to be heard, capturing the analogue warmth and raw-edged production that digital streams can flatten. The crackle and pop of the needle dropping feels like a direct connection to the electrifying moment these albums were first released.
