The Strokes are an American indie rock band. Formed in New York City in 1999, the group consists of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. The Strokes discography consists of five studio albums, one extended play (EP), twelve singles, one video album and fifteen music videos. In January 2001, the Strokes released a demo EP, ''The Modern Age'', on independent record label Rough Trade. The large amount of hype generated by the record, especially among the British music press, led to a bidding war among major record labels.〔Phares, Heather. (The Strokes Biography ). Allmusic. Retrieved on May 21, 2008.〕 The band signed with RCA Records, and released its debut LP ''Is This It'' in August 2001. Helped by lead single "Hard to Explain", the album debuted at number two in the UK and number 33 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Highly acclaimed by critics, ''Is This It'' was certified platinum in the US and UK, selling over two million copies worldwide.〔Deusner, Stephen M. (January 3, 2006). ("''First Impressions of Earth'' Record Review" ). Pitchfork Media. Retrieved on May 21, 2008.〕 The Strokes released their next LP, ''Room on Fire'', in October 2003. The album did well on the charts, reaching number two and going platinum in the UK, while peaking at the fourth spot in the US. Three singles were released from the album, the highest-charting of which was "12:51", which reached number seven in the UK. The band's third album ''First Impressions of Earth'' was released in January 2006. Although critics suggested the post-Christmas release date was an indication of the band's lower expectations of the record, ''First Impressions of Earth'' was the first Strokes album to top the UK charts.〔 "Juicebox" became the first single by the group to break into the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and was its highest-charting effort in the UK, where it reached number five. Released after a long hiatus, The Strokes' fourth album ''Angles'' (2011) became their third-consecutive LP to chart at number four on the ''Billboard'' 200. Its 2013 follow-up ''Comedown Machine'', however, only reached number ten on that chart as well as in the UK. ==Studio albums== *I The US version of ''Is This It'' featured alternate artwork, and the song "When It Started" instead of "New York City Cops". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Strokes discography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
