The Strokes
The secret of The Strokes has always been that, however big their albums have grown, they’re somewhere close to 10 times better live. Onstage, frontman Julian Casablancas truly projects, his voice taking on rough properties that tend to go flat beneath all the megaphone distance he favors in the studio. And the players behind him actually play, their fastidious habits buried by the sheer force of a rock band doing what good rock bands do.
