I just wanted to put on my golden trunks and drive my monster truck up to the taqueria on the roof to pick up the food I ordered with my bat phone, which I planned on taking to the lunar drive-in to watch some Science Fiction with but as Mark was checking me out of the hotel I got arrested by the martini police who were tipped off by my pals... well I suppose we aren't really friends anymore now.
It’s sad that this video was made before the release of the new abnormal. That album gave Julian and the band more creative freedom with their new producer and especially after Julian’s experimentation with the Voidz. I think the new abnormal is their second best album no doubt.
“...that breaks into half screams.” i think that's fair. He has this 50s big band, classy kind of singing that he flips the switch and screams. I think (including the rest of the quote) it was a fair way to describe Julian's singing
Yeah kinda the same here, except with bass. Some songs that Nikolai plays are very quite simple and really easy for a beginner, and as you work your way up, learning songs like Juicebox, god that song is so fun.
Gregory Shorte I too was in a Strokes cover band for a little bit and I honestly had as much fun playing those songs as a guitarist as me singing and playing my originals now
yeh same, they are the best inspiration for so many! I will always thank them for encouraging me to develop my guitar skills to a different level and style, which I love doing so I can apply it to my own music and improvisation.
I kinda like how rock is not the most popular genre anymore. I like the underground resistance movement feeling when going to shows. Now great rock singles are less likely to be desecrated by their over use in dumb commercials. Most importantly bands are less likely to take the generic route when coming up with new music. It promotes having to experiment and take risk on new sounds. People say rock is dead... no its just lying low and will come back stronger than ever for those who always enjoy it or really hearing it for the first time. Even if it never becomes the most popular genre ever again. I truly appreciate the work you do by spreading the gospel of rock brother Lie.
Noir Spectre ty segall and tame impala aren't really rock in the generic sense. I love them both but they're more psychedelic rock. If you like them, go listen to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Firstly, indie rock and cloud rap must die. After that, rock music will be strong and entertaining. I really hate indie rock and cloud rap, because that genres killed rock music in my opinion.
Lucas sørensen It is bothering more than it should You can really tell he only looks at the band's Wikipedia page, a few articles, and listens to their catalog really quick to pop out a video every so often
There's a few mistakes here and there yea, I suppose that's to be expected considering the rate and range of his output. Still, I think most of his videos uphold a certain level of quality. If you haven't already, check out the channels Middle8 and Polyphonic, they do similar video essays on music, and both have more or less just started out but have insanely high quality content.
'Is This It' is the best album I know. EVERY song on it is worth listening to, down to the last second. I don't usually like listening to albums generally because for an artist there's about three good songs on average in an album while everything else is mediocre. But I love this album. It's my favorite.
I'm glad you enjoy it that much. Personally i've always been an album person. I usually just return to those albums where 70% of the album's songs are good, because i like to take the time and listen to the whole thing. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i used to collect CD's when i was younger. And i got some more patience from listening to those.
You're right. My friend recommended it to me this year and at first I didn't think it was anything special and each song sounded ordinary. But the more I listened, the more I became attached to each song that I ended up liking every single song on that album. I too selectively choose songs from an artist rather than listening to a whole album but every song on ITI has a unique vibe and makes me feel a different way, I love it.
Holy fuck. I fkin relate to this so much. I listen to the whole of is this it atleast once everyday and have been doing so for years. In my opinion, it is one of the perfect rock albums, has everything from good lyrics, to the infamous complex dual guitar parts that compliment each other so well. It's just so raw, complex yet simple - it's fuckin perfect
Why did you show Reptilia video clip while talking about the first album? Why did you put Juicebox above Room On Fire cover ? Apart from that, good video.
Is this it? He doesn't create a good First Impression? I'ts like, to get those facts wrong you gotta be from Machu Pichu, or somethin? Someday he'll get his head outta the Juicebox? It's not Hard to Explain? I feel like settin his Room On Fire!!!!!!
Absolutely love The Strokes, they took influence from Television and Joy Division in a perfect sense, in which each member of the band plays a different part or a counter melody (I read that Julian Casablancas also studied classical music, which can be why this is also present in The Strokes). The beauty of The Strokes is that they don't sound derivative either (Like Wolfmother), and instead, take a retro sound and put an original twist to it. The Strokes were absolutely needed.
They were needed for sure! I can totally see that. At the same time i find it hard to totally fall in love with their music. Something about it flows straight past me. Some songs i i really love, but i haven't gotten my first full-album crush yet. We'll see. I don't try to expect this to happen though. Expecting things from music is stupid.
i think he tried to play juicebox to segue into talking about first impressions. I got confused as well, and was upset there was very little acknowledgment of Room on Fire, my favorite album. He did the album no justice. And i think it being a strong follow up to Is this It had a large impact in their success. Edt. Now that I look again he had the completely wrong titles over the completely wrong album art. I was only listening the first time. yea he straight fucked up. Still did room on fire dirty...
Well you can always make something that resonates with people no matter what state of mind you're in yourself. Because there's bound to be someone else out there that feels the same.
I was so surprised when I heard that the Strokes were on a time crunch to make Room on Fire. It's one of my favorite albums by them and it makes me realize just how talented and creative they are. I can't even imagine how good the album would be if they got the couple extra weeks they needed.
Personally, I see Angles as their Abbey Road. It's their best album imo, despite the behind the scenes issues and disjointed process. It was the convergence between the sound they started with and where they were going. It's just fantastic.
To each their own I suppose. I personally find it to be their worst album. If I had to rank them 1. Is this it 2. Room on fire 3. First impressions of earth 4. The new abnormal 5. Comedown machine 6. Angles

Julian is a really talented guy. So much that I followed all his work and managed to like every if his projects, including his solo career and the Voidz
Thank you so much for doing this finally! I started to loose hope. I've listened to The Strokes for 10 years, yet I still got to know some new things from this video, so really, thanks! And yes, please make another one about Julian, it will be really interesting to see.
One of the best live bands i have ever seen. Saw them live for Is This It and Room On Fire tours. Fans waited outside the venue, in the cold, for them to come out and sign autographs. Both Julian and Nikolai came out and were super cool. They hung out for at least half an hour talking to fans, signing autographs and taking pics. This was late 2002. Great memories.
Just fyi, the photo at 2:30 is not Julian Casablancas, it's an early photo of the band Moldy Peaches (Adam Green and Kimya Dawson). Adam (and his haircut) bore a passing resemblance to Julian when they were younger. The bands were gaining traction around the same time, and there are plenty of photos from that period of time floating around, of the two of them at parties together, clearly in on the joke of their doppelganger status.
I seriously wish they had a lot more time to record ROF. As great as it is, can you imagine what it could have been like if they had just one more month
Thanks finally someone that agrees that they look similar. He popped up in the search for Julian so i never thought it wasn't him. Maybe a younger version of him.
bob shermen I was gonna say that! But I had a bad discussion long ago because of it. Adam looks like the version before rehab, lol. But I have to say, I enjoy so much more Adam's voice and songs, he's someone I comeback to every now and then, and I've been listening to him since I heard "Carolina" and all his work. A great indie folk/rock artist.
thanks for uploading this video, because this was the first time I had discovered The Strokes and they're my new favourite band. But nothing beats MGMT, but I still love the strokes and the voids so much!
There are only 2 good Radiohead albums. This albums are Pablo Honey and The Bends. The rest of the discography is boring, fake and rubbish. Arcade Fire is also boring as fuck. INDIE ROCK MUST DIE.
I was a teenager in the 1990s and dressed in 'indie' clothes, got a band together and have fond memories of indie nights etc. But I was more comfortable in my skin in my 20s and the 00s had The Strokes, Kings of Leon, White Stripes, Interpol, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, The Coral, The Libertines etc and I was in a decent band then too. The 90s *should* be my era but I think it was really the 00s.
The "cello and viola" you're hearing in Ask Me Anything is actually the sound of a mellotron, a vintage tape reel instrument. You can hear more from the mellotron in Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles, a song recorded using the instrument during it's relevant era. Cheers!
Julian has made all the guitar parts and bass lines for their first three records. After their long hiatus and his solo career, when he came back, he avoided participating in the song creating process so the other members could have more control and make more songs. This backfired on chemistry and Valensi was pissed but angles featured more songs by the other members than their previous works
Lol i just imagine Valensi going "shit now we have to do everything ourselves? Fuck this..." Haha. I actually didn't know he did all the guitar and bass parts for those records. Where did you find out about that?
I'm trying to find this old dutch video where they say it explicitly after their UK tour after this is it I think. You can dig around for some early strokes interviews where they mention it.
Yeeees, please please do a video on Julian Casablancas! There is so much to him as a person and an artist, and would be awesome to present to your viewers!
Yt_ DARKWARRIOR not a ton of effort when you show pictures of the wrong bands, wrong songs on wrongs albums, and even get parts of their history wrong. You can really tell he just looks at their wikipedia and listens to some songs and calls it good
That was really cool. Been waiting for it. I do feel Is This It was the best debut album of 00s along with The Funeral by Arcade Fire. room on fire was pretty great too but they went downhill from there. All the records following room on fire were decent records though and had atleast 3-4 pretty good songs. I am digging Julian's work apart from strokes and although the voidz don't have a mainstream appeal but I think he is doing something exciting and making record that sound nothing like strokes. And yes do make an in depth video on Julian Cascablancas In the future. Probably my favorite artist post 00s!
[sad sigh]... i love people who say their only 1st two albums were good and it all started to go downhill from there... ahh how typical, have you ever fucking heard Vision Of Division, Electricityscape, Razorblade, Life Is Simple In The Moonligh, Games, 80s Comedown Machine, Call It Fate Call It Karma, One Way Trigger??? i'm glad they added something new with every album but still having one foot inside garage/indie rock sound, the only "weak" album from them would be Angles and only because couple of songs(two kinds of happiness, you're so right, metabolism) that didn't really quite fit them and as the guy said in the video, is this it and room on fire sound quite simplistic, maybe thats the reason why people get into them and stick with it with stubbornness, first impressions of earth have way more complex guitar sound, julians vocal range is also wider, the only downside of the album is that is has a couple of filler songs(fear of sleep, killing lies and probably one more i can't remember now), give other albums another chance i'm sure one day you will realize how incredibly crafted they are
zer0 95 well I never said they were weak albums. I love strokes. They are one of my favorite bands of all time. I do think they are decent albums but definitely not as good as first two(overall) because they have weak songs that sound like filler tracks. Besides bro music is subjective. Don't be an ignorant person when people share their opinion. Be better than that.
The Strokes are one of the only bands that I've been listening to for 10+ years and haven't ever really been disappointed by yet. There are some real stinkers on Angles for sure, but also some of my favorite songs as well. Otherwise their output has been unimpeachable, imo. People have been shitting on them for 17 years because they didn't want to just keep making Is This It over and over, and of course there's just a sick fascination with seeing someone who garners immediate fame and success suffer a fall. So many other bands started copying Is This It, and they went in a more new wave, 80s revival, pop, prog, and metal direction to try and remain distinct from their copycats. Idk why this is automatically considered a bad thing, but that seems to be the narrative among many music critics and casual fans. Nobody ever seems to judge the music on its own terms, but rather by what it's not and wasn't trying to be. Idk how anyone can listen to "Tap Out," or "Happy Ending," and say Comedown Machine is a bad album. Those songs slap so fucking hard. They're just not really rock songs, is all. Let this be a lesson to you, success can be a curse. Best case scenario is it builds slowly and peaks in the middle of your career.
Interpol is post punk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs is indie rock. Why would you call them garage bands? Garage Rock Revival was comprised of The White Stripes, The Strokes and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club! And BRMC are much more underrated than The Strokes. And, unlike them (or a ton of other rock/indie rock bands from 2000s), BRMC haven't started playing pop rock. Dave Grohl calls them the best contemporary US band, Matt Bellamy attends their shows, Oasis were after them to sign them on to their label, their songs are OST to every third movie or TV series, but too few people really know them. So I guess BRMC deserve to be covered by you as well.
Yeah maybe i'll make one about them too. They sure sound interesting from your description of them. But i can't promise it will come in the close future.
How are the strokes making pop rock? They’ve only gotten weirder and more experimental with time. B.R.M.C. are not underrated they’re just not very good. They’re just campy throwback dad rock akin to danko Jones. And who cares what Dave grohl thinks? He’s the definition of pop rock.
Thanks for the green light! I sure will. And yes i really dig that one song from Wavves new album. But much of the other songs are shait. KOTB and AOH are their best albums imo.
What artist/band should be next? 🤘🎸

Because this dude isn't an actual fan. He just half assed
Julian's "clean" vocals? His vocals have more distortion than metal songs, seriously.
Hahah some times yes.
In first impresions is when he kind of sounds clean but, at the door surpacess all julian's previous intents of a clean voice by far
@Sho Yu Weeni It's the worst way to describe it.
Not MOST metal songs but some yes
“...that breaks into half screams.” i think that's fair. He has this 50s big band, classy kind of singing that he flips the switch and screams. I think (including the rest of the quote) it was a fair way to describe Julian's singing
Love the strokes. They're the reason why I started playing guitar.
Yeah kinda the same here, except with bass. Some songs that Nikolai plays are very quite simple and really easy for a beginner, and as you work your way up, learning songs like Juicebox, god that song is so fun.
Criley they’re the reason I started a band!
First thing i did upon learning strat was form a strokes cover band in high school lol.
Gregory Shorte I too was in a Strokes cover band for a little bit and I honestly had as much fun playing those songs as a guitarist as me singing and playing my originals now

Yes to feature on Julian Casablanca

Omg I’m fucking obsessed
yeaahhhhhh it's a great album!

I actually thought The Strokes were English for a while, could be something to do with Rough Trade and the accent of the singer?
Yeah those are good reasons to believe that. I imagined them to be british for some time too for some reason.
Char10tti3 I just assume that all indie rock bands are British

Me too. I'm kind of disappointed that they're not.

The song Juicebox that you included in Room on Fire is actually from their third album First Impressions of Earth

Julian has awesome vocals. He's one of the best to have his type of vocals. You don't have to sound like MJ to be an amazing singer.
You just have to sound authentic. And Julian has the most linear but still authentic voice i've heard in a long time
Juicebox is from First Impressions, not Room On Fire
That bugged me so much
And Reptilia wasn't on Is This It?
Ikr, that made me feel very uncomfortable
Thank you. I had to pause and look down in the comments.
Okay, so now you've definitely gotta do The Voidz, then Julian Casablancas himself. Then Albert Hammond Jr, then Nick, then Interpol definitely!

Yes a lot of other people caught that. And again, i'm sorry for making that mistake.
Just fyi, the photo at 2:30 is not Julian Casablancas, it's an early photo of the band Moldy Peaches (Adam Green and Kimya Dawson). Adam (and his haircut) bore a passing resemblance to Julian when they were younger. The bands were gaining traction around the same time, and there are plenty of photos from that period of time floating around, of the two of them at parties together, clearly in on the joke of their doppelganger status.
The recent voidz album is the experimental album Julian always wanted, it’s amazing
2:29 is a picture of the Moldy Peaches, thats Adam Green not Jules.
lmaoooo wow, btw is your name a growlers reference?
its just a weird coincidence, I've had it as a name on Steam since 2004. the growlers are great though
They look a lot like each other though.
Hahaha I called that too I had to find some one else that new
The smiths if u haven’t already
Waiting for the Julian video :)
Still waiting!
I was shoked you didn't mention the new abnormal and the I noticed the video's release date lol
julian screaming in reptilia is what i live for.
I find it interesting how this guy seems to pronounce 'G's the exact opposite way they are meant to be in almost every circumstance.
I seriously wish they had a lot more time to record ROF. As great as it is, can you imagine what it could have been like if they had just one more month
The Smashing Pumpkins
One favorite band after the other. What a treat! Deftones and The Strokes definitely continue to influence people of all ages. Timeless.
That's Adam Green at 2:29, not Julian
That was a picture of Adam green hahahahahahhahaah
Yeah, I was wondering why he showed that picture while talking about Julian being in love, lol.
Matias to be fair they look very very similar
Thanks finally someone that agrees that they look similar. He popped up
in the search for Julian so i never thought it wasn't him. Maybe a younger
version of him.
bob shermen I was gonna say that! But I had a bad discussion long ago because of it. Adam looks like the version before rehab, lol. But I have to say, I enjoy so much more Adam's voice and songs, he's someone I comeback to every now and then, and I've been listening to him since I heard "Carolina" and all his work. A great indie folk/rock artist.
Matias he's so amazing
Do interpol
I love Room On Fire, can't imagine how they could've done it better.... mind-blowing I'm sure
Great video!!! Your voice is super soothing and quality info!
their music is so unique and live performances are so good
thanks for uploading this video, because this was the first time I had discovered The Strokes and they're my new favourite band. But nothing beats MGMT, but I still love the strokes and the voids so much!
The Voidz are amazing. I actually like them more than The Strokes. Thanks for watching and resonating with the
video. Cheers from Norway.
It's time for Radiohead or Arcade fire!🤘
Yeah please!
Arcade fire pleeeeeAAASEE
radiohead4sure
There are only 2 good Radiohead albums. This albums are Pablo Honey and The Bends. The rest of the discography is boring, fake and rubbish. Arcade Fire is also boring as fuck. INDIE ROCK MUST DIE.
Aggressive fuck off
I need that Julian video. That man is beyond words.
i love the strokes
Yes do one on Julian!!!
2:29 This is Adam Green, not Julian Casablancas
Juicebox isnt on room on fire..
"I just wanted to be one of The Strokes..."
El EMRXY now look at the mess you made me make. I think it says that I’m not sure I don’t really listen to star treatment
I was a teenager in the 1990s and dressed in 'indie' clothes, got a band together and have fond memories of indie nights etc. But I was more comfortable in my skin in my 20s and the 00s had The Strokes, Kings of Leon, White Stripes, Interpol, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, The Coral, The Libertines etc and I was in a decent band then too. The 90s *should* be my era but I think it was really the 00s.
Why is there a picture of Moldy Peaches (Adam Green and Kimya Dawson) at 2:30?
Understanding Thom Yorke or Radiohead
Albert should also get a video, he has a solo career which lives up to his work with The Strokes.
Armordillo Gamer no it dosent
Shut up kid, keep making shit rap song to garageband stock music.
Yours to keep is one of my favorite albums straight up
Good job on the video. Congrats. As you ask, I would personally like a video on Julian Casablancas solo work too as it really is brilliant!
Thanks for your support man! I'll see what i can put together ;)
I think he met Nikolai 1st but could be mistaken
Understanding Bombay Bicycle Club
YES WE NEED A VID ON JULIAN CASABLANCAS
Alright, thanks for your feedback ;)
Catfish and the Bottlemen next?
Alex G ooh yeah!
alex Why? They’re incredibly boring (albeit surprisingly decent live)
@@ResevoirGod take your wrong opinion elsewhere
@@scoots2713 Take your awful, bland taste in music elsewhere
@@ResevoirGod if it’s such bad taste why are you in this comment section?
The "cello and viola" you're hearing in Ask Me Anything is actually the sound of a mellotron, a vintage tape reel instrument. You can hear more from the mellotron in Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles, a song recorded using the instrument during it's relevant era. Cheers!
Julian has made all the guitar parts and bass lines for their first three records.
After their long hiatus and his solo career, when he came back, he avoided participating in the song creating process so the other members could have more control and make more songs.
This backfired on chemistry and Valensi was pissed but angles featured more songs by the other members than their previous works
Lol i just imagine Valensi going "shit now we have to do everything ourselves? Fuck this..." Haha.
I actually didn't know he did all the guitar and bass parts for those records. Where did you find out about that?
I'm trying to find this old dutch video where they say it explicitly after their UK tour after this is it I think. You can dig around for some early strokes interviews where they mention it.
I love how u refer to them as ‘were’ when they just made the best rock album this yeat
yeeeaatttttt
Yeeees, please please do a video on Julian Casablancas! There is so much to him as a person and an artist, and would be awesome to present to your viewers!
Subscribed in hopes of that video coming up ^^
I won't disappoint you.
@@LieLikesMusic It's been two years man. Haven't seen one yet. Lmao.
You made some mistakes here. I'm not sure you understand The Strokes enough to make a video about them.
hey, what were the mistakes? just curious
Wrong songs attributed to the wrong albums.
Yt_ DARKWARRIOR not a ton of effort when you show pictures of the wrong bands, wrong songs on wrongs albums, and even get parts of their history wrong. You can really tell he just looks at their wikipedia and listens to some songs and calls it good
such hard work to screw up throughout the video
Like the song Ask Me Anything doesn't have samples of cello or violas it has Nick playing a Mellotron.
Thanks so much, such an amazing video to watch, really well done!!!🤟🏻
Definitely need a whole video on the Julian Casablancas dynamic
That was really cool. Been waiting for it. I do feel Is This It was the best debut album of 00s along with The Funeral by Arcade Fire. room on fire was pretty great too but they went downhill from there. All the records following room on fire were decent records though and had atleast 3-4 pretty good songs. I am digging Julian's work apart from strokes and although the voidz don't have a mainstream appeal but I think he is doing something exciting and making record that sound nothing like strokes. And yes do make an in depth video on Julian Cascablancas In the future. Probably my favorite artist post 00s!
[sad sigh]... i love people who say their only 1st two albums were good and it all started to go downhill from there... ahh how typical, have you ever fucking heard Vision Of Division, Electricityscape, Razorblade, Life Is Simple In The Moonligh, Games, 80s Comedown Machine, Call It Fate Call It Karma, One Way Trigger??? i'm glad they added something new with every album but still having one foot inside garage/indie rock sound, the only "weak" album from them would be Angles and only because couple of songs(two kinds of happiness, you're so right, metabolism) that didn't really quite fit them
and as the guy said in the video, is this it and room on fire sound quite simplistic, maybe thats the reason why people get into them and stick with it with stubbornness, first impressions of earth have way more complex guitar sound, julians vocal range is also wider, the only downside of the album is that is has a couple of filler songs(fear of sleep, killing lies and probably one more i can't remember now), give other albums another chance i'm sure one day you will realize how incredibly crafted they are
zer0 95 well I never said they were weak albums. I love strokes. They are one of my favorite bands of all time. I do think they are decent albums but definitely not as good as first two(overall) because they have weak songs that sound like filler tracks. Besides bro music is subjective. Don't be an ignorant person when people share their opinion. Be better than that.
Jules Gilmour Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is one of the best, if not the best album of the 00s
Arutzuki yup..it is
Yes Julian vid please!!! cheers
The Strokes are one of the only bands that I've been listening to for 10+ years and haven't ever really been disappointed by yet. There are some real stinkers on Angles for sure, but also some of my favorite songs as well. Otherwise their output has been unimpeachable, imo. People have been shitting on them for 17 years because they didn't want to just keep making Is This It over and over, and of course there's just a sick fascination with seeing someone who garners immediate fame and success suffer a fall. So many other bands started copying Is This It, and they went in a more new wave, 80s revival, pop, prog, and metal direction to try and remain distinct from their copycats. Idk why this is automatically considered a bad thing, but that seems to be the narrative among many music critics and casual fans. Nobody ever seems to judge the music on its own terms, but rather by what it's not and wasn't trying to be. Idk how anyone can listen to "Tap Out," or "Happy Ending," and say Comedown Machine is a bad album. Those songs slap so fucking hard. They're just not really rock songs, is all.
Let this be a lesson to you, success can be a curse. Best case scenario is it builds slowly and peaks in the middle of your career.
Yes please make a video on Julian
Where is the julian casablancas video?!
Interpol is post punk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs is indie rock. Why would you call them garage bands?
Garage Rock Revival was comprised of The White Stripes, The Strokes and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club!
And BRMC are much more underrated than The Strokes. And, unlike them (or a ton of other rock/indie rock bands from 2000s), BRMC haven't started playing pop rock. Dave Grohl calls them the best contemporary US band, Matt Bellamy attends their shows, Oasis were after them to sign them on to their label, their songs are OST to every third movie or TV series, but too few people really know them. So I guess BRMC deserve to be covered by you as well.
Yeah maybe i'll make one about them too. They sure sound interesting from your description of them.
But i can't promise it will come in the close future.
How are the strokes making pop rock? They’ve only gotten weirder and more experimental with time. B.R.M.C. are not underrated they’re just not very good. They’re just campy throwback dad rock akin to danko Jones. And who cares what Dave grohl thinks? He’s the definition of pop rock.
8:35 Wavvvves - Milion Enemies
although there are few mistakes, great sumerup of the band's history, keep on making videos man!
Thanks for the green light! I sure will. And yes i really dig that one song from Wavves new album.
But much of the other songs are shait. KOTB and AOH are their best albums imo.
I miss old wavvvvves 😤
I would absolutely love a video about Julian!
Think i would love that too. Or just a video about the Voidz. I like their music more than The Strokes.
Keep these coming!!! Very informative.
i met julian a few years ago, such a chill guy.
