The Strokes

By July 2006, The Strokes were riding high on the wave of success from their third studio album, 'First Impressions of Earth,' which was released earlier that year in January. This album marked a bit of a departure from their earlier sound, showcasing a blend of darker themes and polished production. Their live performance at the FIB Benicassim Festival was a testament to their growing popularity, as they energized the crowd with hits like 'Juicebox' and 'Heart in a Cage.' Notably, the band was at a transitional point in their career, grappling with the pressures of expectations while still delivering that signature Strokes charisma. With their laid-back style and Jules Casablancas' iconic stage presence, this show captured a unique essence of the early 2000s rock revival.
