The Strokes Are Back…Finally

About a year ago TCM reported that The Strokes had returned to the studio for the first time in 5 years ago to begin work on the follow up album to 2006′s, First Impressions Of Earth. Music from those sessions are finally being heard on the band’s first single, “Under Cover Of Darkness”.

The new album, Angles is due out March 22. It’s like having an old drinking buddy miraculously show up again.

I’m pretty sure this album cover should either be on the front of a trapper keeper or it’s an artist interpretation of a level from the Nintendo game Marble Madness.

The Strokes Return

Strokes1 The Strokes Return

The Strokes put out 3 critically acclaimed albums from 2001-2006 and than disappeared into indefinite hiatus land which saw every single member (except for second guitarist, Nick Valensi) do their own solo projects. Most recently and most Strokes sounding was lead singer, Julian Casablancas’ album. Well, we finally have good news to report as the band is back in the studio recording and eying a September 2010 album release. They also have confirmed two isolated concert appearances at music festivals in the UK.

In honor of this news, we’d like to show you a music video that is a TCM favorite. It combines binge drinking and Family Feud hosted by a robust Al Borland. It’s the song, “Someday” from the Strokes 2001 debut, Is This It?
