The Strokes

From the '70s and '80s to modern day, alt-rock has put interesting bands on the concert stage.

After the release of their 2013 album 'Comedown Machine,' the Strokes parted ways with RCA Records, their home base since their debut in 2001.

Strokes fans may be stoked about the impending March 26 release of the band's new album, 'Comedown Machine,' but there is less exciting news when it comes to the group's plans to tour behind the disc. During a recent interview with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, bassist Nikolai Fraiture expressed his desire to hit the road with the Strokes but revealed that no shows have been booked.

It's been nearly a month since Seattle radio station 107.7 The End boasted that it was sitting on a promo copy of a new Strokes single titled 'All the Time' and would be playing it imminently. That didn't happen, and in the weeks since, the New York rockers announced a March release for a new album ('Comedown Machine') and leaked a new tune ('One Way Trigger'). But whatever came of 'All the Time?'

The Strokes, the "it" band of the early '00s, have confirmed that they will release their fifth album, 'Comedown Machine,' on March 26. Something tells us the band and its camp rushed to issue a press release after a crafty user on Reddit found some link in the code on the band's website that lead to an image revealing the title and artwork. Sounds like it was a bit of a hacker discovery

Two weeks after a Seattle radio station claimed it had an exclusive on the new Strokes single and a week after news surfaced about plans for a new album, a song bound for the as-yet-untitled disc has surfaced in our inbox.
