The New Strokes Album? It's A Punk-As-F*ck Fireball
By Adam Green
Or so promises singer-songerwriter and friend of the band Adam Green...
There are so many reasons that everyone should be excited about The Strokes’ comeback. For one thing, I’ve never seen a bad Strokes concert. I always like to watch the crowd when they play too. People get really euphoric and enraptured, like they’re seeing the light or something.I think Julian Casablancas only said they were doing this summer’s festival shows for the money to be provocative. I don’t think those guys do anything for the money. It’s not like when you go to see The Rolling Stones live and they have, like, 12 people onstage. continued...
But there’s one thing I’m more excited about than the live shows: the album. One of the reasons it’s taking so long is that they each came into recording with, like, 20 songs. I’ve heard a couple of things so far.
There’s a definite metal influence; people never could figure out how Nick Valensi had so many chops but he’s always been a serious shredder. He grew up listening to Pantera. Albert Hammond Jr listens to a lot of Wagner and Handel operas. Fab Moretti has been getting into Native American music and traditional Navajo stuff.
I know they’ve also been using a children’s choir who provide some tribal chanting. There’s also a George Michael-ness coming out of Julian’s songwriting this time. I can also say that I was called up a couple of times by the band during recording and asked if I knew a good saxophone player, so I’m assuming there’s some saxophone on it.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll use it tastefully. They’ve recorded part of it at The Cloisters in Harlem which is like a medieval castle/museum. There was one track I heard that sounded like it was underwater and seemed to have fish sounds on it but I was also on mushrooms at the time, so who knows?
In any case, you should think of them as a punk-as-**** fireball coming towards the UK at a vast speed. Brace yourselves.

...still J has a good voice on live show?
Hi all
I am an Italian fans, and I missed them free on Turin traffic festival a couple of years ago. What I am scared about them...if i am going to see them next album tour in 2011 is....Julian still have the voice.
I did hundreds of rock gigs some were after years the band was "in auge" I mean for example I saw Mars Volta in 2008..too late...voice gone!
Smashing Pumpkins...2009....Bologna magic gone!!

Strokes Album Has "Been A Labour" Says Casablancas
Julian Casablancas has been updating Xfm on the progress of The Strokes’ new album. Backstage at last weekend’s T In The Park, the frontman was asked whether the New Yorkers’ new record had been a labour of love.
“It’s been a labour!”, he said. “It’s all good. I was going to make a joke and say it was a labour of necessity, but no, it’s going to be fantastic”.

The Strokes Rock for Fashion
from Spin
Fashion Week has inundated New York City. Everywhere you turn there are models, champagne-flowing after-parties, and musicians enjoying it all.
This year, rock'n'roll is playing a larger role than ever. The Strokes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Crystal Castles, Sleigh Bells, Hole, and others have all performed for the brand-name-wearing elite. And SPIN has been there, shooting their gigs.
Here, browse our pics from the first half of Fashion Week, including the above shot of the Strokes rocking Tommy Hilfiger's 25th Anniversary Party, Sunday, September 12.

So they're going for a punk sound this time? If that means going back to their roots Is This It? style and less arena rock I'll be very happy!
^I hope so, Fabrizio said himself the new record looks more like their debut one 
10 songs is already a good beginning, since it probably means it won't have filler songs like FIOE did.
The Strokes reveal scrapped new album sessions
Plus Albert Hammond Jr says new album will have 10 songs
The Strokes' guitarist Albert Hammond Jr has revealed that the band have produced their new album themselves after scrapping early recording sessions.
He said that the follow-up to 2006's 'First Impressions Of Earth' will feature 10 songs, adding that he is "beyond thrilled" with the record, which they ended up making in his own studio.
Before the new sessions the band scrapped tracks recorded at the start of the year, reports Rolling Stone. These initial sessions saw them decamp to New York's Avatar Studios in February with producer Joe Chiccarelli. They later decided to helm the record themselves with help from engineer Gus Osberg.
The guitarist said that the mood in the band is good, with the album recorded and set to be mixed soon.
"We're all really excited to be stepping into the next chapter," he said. "We spent the last six months recording in my studio upstate and we are beyond thrilled with the 10 songs we have for this record."
Speaking of the finished tracks, Hammond Jr added: "I'm positive that you'll be as excited as we are."
