I have never known a band be hyped-up to the extent The Strokes have. When i fist heard them i thought they sounded like a out-of-tune mess, but having heard their new single 'Last Night' i'm starting to understand the hype surrounding them.

What does everyone else reckon to them?

Well i've got the album and if it weren't for the Daft Punk album,it would be album of the year.

Every track is a beauty.

Check out the new Charlatans album, that's a corker too

I didn't particularly like their first 2 singles, but their new one - Last Nite, is very good. My radio station has the album, and we've been playing Last Nite a lot, it's had a good response. I wouldn't call them the greatest new band around, but they're good.

Overhyped and over here...

all the songs are based on the same thing...

same drum line... same semiquaver perfect rhythmn on the guitars...

they wouldn't be around if there mummy's and daddy's weren't multi millionaires.

I hate it when bands don't work to get where they are.

So what you into then Peej -you've slagged White Stripes and The Strokes who I happen to think are two of the more interesting new bands around and also So Solid Crew who I agree are crapola of the highest order. Interested in what you are into???
