You know when a song gets leaked by a notable artist but it transpires it's actually just a spoof song by some guys fucking around on the 'net..?

It sounds like this. Best thing i can say is that the rhythm of the song is a total rip-off of the "repo man" theme by Iggy.

Doesn't really strike me as being a good choice for a first single from a band making a comeback that, potentially, will make or break them. I can't see this being a big hit or having the mass appeal that'll win them legions of new fans.

I'm a pretty true blue Strokes fan, but this sounds like doo-doo. Maybe I need more time with it, I'm not sure, but as of now, I'm not impressed. They aren't very good at picking singles tho.

The Strokes are that band that has that dude's kid in them right? They're not good, right?

What are they coming back from, wasn't their last album like a hit and shit?

Yeah, who is his Dad? I think he's a fashion designer or promoter or something like that...?

I'm far more shocked about this weird Strokes love fest than I am about the Boston love outbreak elsewhere.

To all my friends, they were the shitty bad that they laughed at when people got them confused with The White Stripes.

i cant see how the strokes would be confused with the white stripes
both are great
but nothing alike
and i dig juicebox
not as good as their past 1st singles
being last nite and 1251
but its a change of pace. and a good change of pace at that.

The new album is terrible

This band is done, but I doubt that comes as a surprise to anyone except my cousin
