When the Strokes emerged with This Is It, they captured a youthful energy mixed with a touch of existential gloom. It was a sound that felt distinctly New York, where ambition meets the reality of city life. Alongside them, bands like Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD Soundsystem defined an era with their gritty, atmospheric vibes.
Fast forward to Been Stellar, who embody a similar spirit of grit and volume. Their sound channels that early 2000s rock feel while carving out their own identity. One moment, they might envelop you in shoegaze textures; the next, they could launch into a driving rock anthem, often shifting gears within the same track.
