Earlier on this year the band has been seen at a select few festivals and a handful of headline shows in America. So hopefully this will push the band to try out new material live, new shows too? Who knows, but this is a great piece of news for any fan of The Strokes!

The Strokes announce first headline show in three years!!!

​Their last effort "Comedown Machine" came out and went with little hype after it was released back in 2012, but now The Strokes have just announced their first headline U.S show in over three years.

Following Albert Hammond Jr’s recent solo release and ahead of Julian Casablancas' album with The Voidz, the New York band will play Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on 31st May. It’ll be used as a warm-up show for their slot at the Governors Ball, which runs in NY from 6th to 8th of June.

Albert Hammond Jr says "The Strokes will record new album in 2015"

After the news on March 31st that Julian made about the band recording a couple of tracks Albert Hammond has come out and said that the band will be recording an album in 2015.

Speaking to NME he said...

"I imagine there'll be Strokes activity throughout the year and then hopefully - maybe - an album in the new year. That's the dream. Am I saying that's what's happening? No. But I'm saying that's definitely, probably, in everybody's minds. We're definitely not a band that would play these shows just to randomly play them."

The Strokes unveil new song "One Way Trigger"

Rumours surfaced last week that new material might be imminent, well, it's here. The first song of many we hope too! Titled "One Way Trigger", the brand new song sounds a lot synthier than most of us remember the loveably scruffy New Yorkers - and some different-sounding vocals.
