The Strokes are back and er, well, they’re back and that’s the important thing.

When The Strokes reunited to make the rounds on last year’s festival circuit, the world and its pooch seemed to cream its pants (TMI?). Anyway, after a three year hiatus that involved some side projects, eons of indecision and general buggering around, the New York natives have finally got their shit together and are making the first single from, next album Angels available for download for 48 hours – although we’re now down to something like 30. Listen to Under Cover of Darkness here and feel FREE to download it for FREE here. It might not sound that impressive but it is free.

…did we mention it’s free?
