Front 2 Back x The Strokes

This Wednesday, 14th October, FRONT 2 BACK goes back to the beginning with The Strokes... Three records tracing the sound of a band that helped reshape rock in the early 2000s.

The Strokes: Is This It (2001): The classic. Stripped back guitars, sharp songwriting and a sound that made downtown New York cool all over again.

The Strokes: Room On Fire (2003): The follow-up. Tighter, darker and just as effortlessly cool, with some of the band’s most enduring tracks.

Reality Awaits (2026): The deep dive. Another side of The Strokes, bringing the night back to the records, riffs and sounds that made them so influential.

Three records. One band. A whole era. Settle in with $10 snacks + this week’s FRONT 2 BACK cocktail special.
