Review title: all hype and no rock
Product review: These guys are hyped as "springing from the NY club scene." Well, I live in NY. Almost all my friends are, if not in bands themselves, then avid followers of the local punk, garage, psychobilly and related music scenes. The first anyone I know heard of The Strokes is that they were signed to a major and they were being pushed as the next Big Thing. They have nothing to do with the scene here. They're basically just young kids whose parents have good connections in the record industry. There are dozens of unsigned, unheralded bands in NY who blow these kids away. Seek out those bands. Ignore this pale imitation of rock.
