The Strokes Announce Release Of Vinyl Box Set Of Singles

Fans of The Strokes will be pleased to hear that the band is set to release a new vinyl box set in February of 2023. This new box set will include singles from their first three albums – including their debut album ‘This Is It’ (2001), ‘Room On Fire’ (2003), and ‘First Impressions Of Earth’ (2006). The 7’’ singles from their early albums will be accompanied by demos, b-sides, and other rarities. 

The Strokes came to be in the early 2000s during the garage rock revival. The Strokes have aged remarkably well in that time, with their latest album ‘The New Abnormal’ (2020) just as raw and fuzzy as their beginnings.  In the last 2o years the band has spent within the spotlight, they have only released six albums. The sparse release of their music leaves the audience constantly hungry for more and eternally grateful when satiated.

The new vinyl box set will be the latest release following The Strokes 2020 album release ‘The New Abnormal’. This album would go on to win the rock group a Grammy Award for Best Rock Group in 2021, a perfect marker for The Strokes’ 20-year career in the industry.
