Are you fucking kidding me? Music wraps back on itself, consumes, reinvents and regurgitates, sure, but this is bullshit. This is brainless plagiarism, and if I was The Strokes I would sue. (Right after I flew to the Gold Coast, found these audacious little dudes and kick them in the coconuts.) I’m going to make use of this space by recommending a young band that made proper use of The Strokes’ influence – Oberhofer. Same general direction, at least marginally original sound.
