October 9, 2001
This is the debut album from New York indie-rockers The Strokes, who have been hyped by the British music press following the release of "The Modern Age" EP in early 2001.

Highly Evolved
by The Vines
July 16, 2002
2001 gave us The White Stripes and The Strokes; 2002 gives us The Hives and The Vines.
