Description

By bringing style, fun, and catchy songwriting back to rock music, the Strokes became one of the most influential bands of the early 21st century. Their direct, hooky sound — equally inspired by classic tune-smiths like Buddy Holly and the brash attitude of fellow New Yorkers the Velvet Underground and Ramones — set trends even as it looked back on rock history. With their acclaimed 2001 debut, Is This It, the Strokes reinvigorated a rock scene that had spent years focused on post-grunge and nu-metal. Along with the White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they helped shape the sound and look of alternative rock in the 2000s. The Radio Sessions features recordings from three different sources. First out is a show from the Accelarator Festival that took place at the Munchen Bryggeriet / The Munchen Brewery in Stockholm, Sweden on the 7th of May 2001, then its an appearance at the Tripe J Studios in Sydney, Australia on the 30th of July 2001 and last out is a show from the World Cafe in Hoululu, Usa on the 7th of February 2002. The band performs a track at the World Cafe that at the time didnt have a name. A track they simple call Ze Newe. The track is an early version of Between Love And Hate that would appear on the bands Room Of Fire album that was released in 2003.
