Our Take

Submit a review for The Complete John Peel Sessions by White Stripes? Say no more, mate. These raucous recordings capture the Detroit duo at their raw, unfiltered best. With Jack White's frenetic guitar riffs and Meg White's pounding drums, every track is a punch to the gut and a kick to the eardrums.

From the blistering opener "Apple Blossom" to the stripped-down beauty of "We're Going to Be Friends," this album is a reminder of why the White Stripes were hailed as garage rock royalty. The energy and chemistry between Jack and Meg is palpable, making each song feel like a live wire about to snap.

But it's not just the music that shines on these sessions. Peel's legendary banter adds an extra layer of charm, with his dry wit and occasional bafflement at the band's antics providing some comic relief between tracks. The result is a collection that feels like a time capsule of a band at the peak of their powers.

So, if you fancy a trip down memory lane or just want to experience the White Stripes in their purest form, give this album a spin. Just be prepared to crank up the volume and let the music take you on a wild ride. Cheers, mates.

About the artist

The White Stripes

Ah, White Stripes - the dynamic duo that brought garage rock back into the mainstream with their raw energy and stripped-down sound. Formed in Detroit in 1997, the band consists of the enigmatic frontman Jack White on vocals and guitar, and his equally talented ex-wife, Meg White, on drums. Their minimalist approach to music is both refreshing and impressive, with Jack's fiery guitar licks and Meg's thunderous drumming creating a sound that is undeniably their own. Their signature red, white, and black colour scheme only adds to their mystique, giving them a visual identity that is as bold as their music. Their breakout album "White Blood Cells" in 2001 catapulted them into the mainstream, earning them critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Songs like "Fell in Love with a Girl" and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" showcase Jack's songwriting prowess and Meg's instinctive drumming style. With a string of successful albums, including the Grammy-winning "Elephant" in 2003, the White Stripes have solidified their place in rock history as one of the most influential bands of the 21st century. Their music has inspired countless artists and continues to resonate with listeners of all ages. So, if you're looking for a band that will shake up your music collection and leave you wanting more, look no further than the White Stripes. They may have disbanded in 2011, but their music lives on, a testament to their enduring talent and undeniable charm.
