The Strokes are an American rock band from New York, United States, formed in 1998. The band rose to fame in the early 2000s as a leading group in garage rock/post-punk revival. The band consists of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond, Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums and percussion). Upon the release of their debut album, Is This It, in 2001, the group was met with much critical acclaim, being hailed by some as the "saviors of rock and roll.

Peter Furgiuele, Nicholas Furgiuele, Pete DeLorenzo, and Matt McCalvin are Gringo Star. Originally called A-Fir-Ju-Well but they changed their name in 2006 and then released a self titled EP. Gringo Star may be known best for their stunning live performances and constant touring.
Hailing from the ATL, they have a sweet mix of classic rock and Motown with a bit of punk energy. Most of the instrument duties and songwriting are split equally among the four band members.
