An insider photographic chronicle of The Strokes’ early years
Drawing on Cody Smyth’s proximity to the band before its formation, this hardcover photo book traces The Strokes’ first decade from their Manhattan school days through their emergence in public life. Hundreds of color and black-and-white photographs place informal student gatherings and private moments alongside images of the group in the wider public eye. The emphasis is visual and personal: a record shaped by someone present around the band’s earliest connections, documenting the period in which their shared history and rise unfolded.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of The Strokes interested in their formative years
- Music-photography collectors
- Readers interested in New York band history and behind-the-scenes imagery
