Is This It: The Never-Ending Rise and Fall of The Strokes (and Rock ‘n’ Roll)
From acclaimed music critic Steven Hyden, this hardcover book offers an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of rock and roll, using The Strokes' seminal album Is This It as a central lens. Published by Da Capo Press, this work delves into the band's impact on the indie alt-rock scene in 2001 and explores why, despite not achieving the mainstream success of some contemporaries, The Strokes continue to hold a unique mystique in 21st-century rock music.
Hyden examines the band's enduring allure and their repeated failures, contrasting their career trajectory with that of their contemporaries, including The Killers, Kings Of Leon, The White Stripes, and The National. The book uses Is This It as a vehicle to explore rock music's evolving role in pop culture over the last twenty-five years, concluding that while rock may rise and fall, it, much like The Strokes, will endure.
