The Strokes’ guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. has a new album coming out later this year. Hammond’s fifth solo effort, titled Melodies On Hiatus, will be released on June 23.

Announcing the record is the single “100-99,” which features a guest appearance from Washington D.C. rapper GoldLink. The release of the single was accompanied by a music video directed by Angela Ricciardi and Silken Weinberg.

“’100-99’ was something I’ve wanted to do for some time – work with a rapper over a beat and guitar part I wrote – and it’s really exciting that I was able to do it with GoldLink,” said Hammond in a statement.

Melodies On Hiatus will see Hammond joined by a number of other high-profile collaborators besides GoldLink. He co-wrote the 19-song album with Canadian songwriter Simon Wilcox while the list of musical guests includes Billy Idol’s guitarist Steve Stevens, Arctic Monkeys‘ drummer Matt Helders, and singer Rainey Qualley aka Rainsford.

Albert Hammond Jr’s most recent solo studio album came in 2018 when he presented Francis Trouble. It received favorable reviews from the critics and peaked at No. 25 on the US Independent Albums chart. Hammond previously also released a critically-acclaimed record The New Abnormal with The Strokes.

The Strokes decided to be really generous this month. The indie rockers continue to share tracks from their new upcoming album, and have now presented a single titled “Bad Decisions.”

The song was previously debuted live at Bernie Sanders’ rally in Durham, New Hampshire last week alongside several others from the highly anticipated studio release The New Abnormal. Now, the band dropped the studio version of the track accompanied by Andrew Donoho-directed music video.

The “Bad Decisions” melody is heavily influenced by Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself,” and the ’80s star is credited as one of the writers on the song. Hear it below.

The Strokes’ new LP will be out on April 10th and will mark the group’s first studio release since 2013’s Countdown Machine. We already had the opportunity to hear the album’s first single “At the Door” while the band debuted several other tracks live, including “Ode to the Mets” and “The Adults Are Talking.”

Before the album officially drops, the group is scheduled to play several live shows around the world, so we should hear more previews soon.  They are also expected to announce new tour dates in the near future.

It seems like The Strokes have almost wrapped up the work on the follow to 2013’s Comedown Machine. During their New Year’s Eve live gig at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, the band’s frontman Julian Casablancas shared with fans that the “new album is coming out soon.”

At one point during the gig, which also saw Mac Demarco and Hinds join as special guests, Casablancas asked the fans whether they would like to hear a new song. After an ear-deafening cheer from the crowd, he went on to announced that their sixth studio album is on its way.

“Surprise. 2020 here we come,” – said Casablancas. “We took the 2010’s – whatever the f*** they’re called – we took ’em off but now we’ve been unfrozen and we’re back.”

The Strokes then went on and debuted new track “Ode To The Mets,” which is expected to be part of their new LP. Watch the entire thing in the video below.

It’s been a while since The Strokes treated us with new music, but it seems like the band is still in the business of making songs as they debuted a new track during a recent live show.

American rockers played charity show benefiting the homeless at Los Angeles’ The Wiltern on Monday night and slipped a brand new track, supposedly titled “The Adults Are Talking,” into the setlist. While there is no official recording of the song available, several fan-made videos emerged on the internet.

Most of the videos are bad in quality, but the first impression is that the song has all the marks of The Strokes’ classic. Watch one of the clips below.

The Strokes’ latest full-length album came in 2013 when they released Comedown Machine. The band decided not to promote the album at all and withheld from interviews, television appearances, and tours. Three years later, they followed up with four-track EP Future Present Past. It remains to be seen whether a new album is in store following the debut of the new song.

After taking two years hiatus from performing live, The Strokes will be quite active in 2019 and are scheduled to appear on several festivals in Europe, the UK, and the United States. This includes sets at New York’s The Governors Ball Music Festival 2019 and Lollapalooza 2019 in Chicago.

There was a lot of buzz surrounding this year’s Lollapalooza, but the official lineup of this epic festival exceeded our wildest expectations. Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, Twenty One Pilots and the Strokes will be headlining this event, but they aren’t the only reason to book your ticket.

Lollapalooza lineup features so many amazing artists you’ll need a magnifying glass to read all their names. Masterminds behind this festival really wanted to make everyone happy and booked a huge assortment of rock, pop, hip-hop, EDM and country stars.

Tame Impala, J Balvin, The Chainsmokers, and Flume received a huge shout-out on the poster for this event, but the lineup also features the likes of Lil Wayne, Hozier, Kacey Musgraves, and Janelle Monáe.

Lollapalooza will once again return to the Grant Park in Chicago, which has been serving as the home for this grandiose event since 2005. It will take place over the course of a prolonged four-day weekend from August 1-4.

If you’ve ever dreamed about a place where you can listen to Hozier, Florence and the Machine, The Strokes and The 1975 at the same time – Electric Picnic is what you’re looking for. This highly-anticipated festival just unveiled its epic lineup, with these four acts serving as headliners.

Festival director Melvin Benn said they tried to press a real big refresh button with the festival this year. He’s very proud of the lineup they managed to essemble and believes it doesn’t have a single weak link.

“It’s the most extraordinary lineup, way beyond anything we’ve ever done, absolutely amazing. There will always be people who are disappointed. How they’d be disappointed with this one is beyond me!” said Benn.

Ireland’s biggest festival of the year will take place at Stradbally Hall, located in Stradbally, County Laois, between August 30 and September 1. The list of performers also features Billie Eilish, James Blake, Jarvis Cocker, and Jess Glynne.
