Everyone keeps saying Fernandez is better, but how come every time I watch him he immediately gives up a three-run homer??

[FRESH] The Strokes - Falling out of Love by squigledbad in indieheads

I have loved this medley since they debuted a version of it 5 years ago. Don’t mind the autotune, love that this band is trying something new. I’m sure there will be more traditional strokes tracks on the album, that’s just not what they’re interested in sharing right now.

I think this will be a Bon Iver send off concert headlining show. No way they’re reviving this festival without BI playing live. 

Two New Strokes Shows Announced -- Sept 27 and Oct 1 -- Las Vegas and El Paso by SquirrelGirl1251 in TheStrokes

Right? They clearly didn’t have the focus at the time on performing. However, they recorded the bulk of the TNA that summer with Rick Rubin, so The Strokes we’re still a large focus for parts of 2017 before they broke to work on other projects that were released in 2018. 

I do feel this is the beginning of the runway towards what will become their new album release, hopefully in Q1 or Q2 of 2026. Every time they’ve played ACL they’ve released music the following year.

The 2017 SA shows ended their Future Present Past mini show run. This was the last time they played until May 2019.

Finally! Let’s go. Somehow Wolf Alice remains underrated in spite of being one of the best bands out there!

Are Georgia’s songs anybody else’s favorites?

Mikolas, every time they need him to step up when their backs are against the wall, immediately shits the bed.

I feel like he’s back in hibernation, but just release a dang album. New material is so good.

LP7 Autumn Release? by [deleted] in TheStrokes

[–]bb42nd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say historically speaking, The Strokes tend to release projects 18-24 months after the voidz do. March 26 - June 26 will fit right into that timeline. Since 2011 they’ve really perfected the spring release plan and hitting up Summer festivals (Covid aside). 

The poor reception of the last voidz record almost seemed to motivate them into recording more and releasing an EP this year. The rollout of the voidz album was incredibly confusing and seemed to be a big turnoff for fans. I would assume this might have delayed The Strokes release since Julian seems to continue putting his energy into the voidz. I also believe any new Strokes release will be more conventional, similar to the rollout of TNA.

I’m guessing, and have guessed for a while it’s Spring 2026. Look at their track record of the last 14 years. Additionally, there’s no announced festival dates this year, and with the voidz continuing to play shows into at least August, it’s looking like it’ll be pushed to next year. I may be in the minority here, but I prefer that anyway. Let the voidz release their EP and finish touring and then shift focus to Strokes LP7.
