Our Take

It’s time to take a trip down memory lane with The Strokes’ iconic debut album, "Is This It." Released in 2001, this record takes us back to a time when skinny jeans and garage rock ruled the underground scene.

From the moment you press play, you’re transported to a smoky dive bar in downtown New York City, surrounded by hipsters, wannabes, and the occasional trust fund kid. The Strokes’ laid-back, nonchalant vibes hit you like a punch in the face, with Julian Casablancas’ distinctively slurred vocals guiding you through a whirlwind of catchy melodies and infectious riffs.

Tracks like “Last Nite” and “Someday” are instant classics, making you want to grab a beer and dance like nobody’s watching. The band’s raw energy and effortless coolness are on full display here, as they effortlessly blend elements of punk, rock, and indie pop into a sound that feels both timeless and ahead of its time.

But don’t let the nostalgia fool you; "Is This It" still holds up as a modern masterpiece, proving that good music never goes out of style. So go ahead, dust off your leather jacket and ripped jeans, and press play on this album. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
