Been called the new york sound, anyone else love em? Got any similar bands?

[Epic?OhYes]

Ehhh, I find them okay.

I’ll be honest, I couldn’t think of a single song they did. I went through White Stripe songs, The Darkness, The Killers. None of them, I’m pretty sure that, even though I’ve heard of The Strokes, I have not once heard a song by them. They have a good sound, though. I’m not an instant fan or anything, but I’ll check em out sometime.

they're an amazing band, I love the relaxed and controlled frenzy of their songs. https://www.youtube....h?v=knU9gRUWCno

also personal opinion time-they're way better than those bands.

I listen to the strokes.

Similar bands...ish.

The Strokes touched 2 genres and became a third, They did rock and punk but settled somewhere in between which is generally where the 90s -> early 00s indie sound was, most of these bands are either punk or rock but sound like some of the strokes stuff (Usually the band has a similar timbre but sometimes because the singers sound similar). So if you could show me what sort of Strokes stuff you like I can make a better list maybe... but I thought I would give you a general around the same theme list. Keep in mind some of these bands don't sound like other bands on the list, but they all share qualities of The Strokes.

Please Enjoy.

The Black Keys


Franz Ferdinand.

familiar with all but the wombats, great list though to me, they all have a distinct sound. I can see why they would be compared but even still, they aren't the same. Though the vines, the pixies, and the black keys have been favorites for some time.
