The White Stripes
Reviews
The White Stripes: Icky ThumpIf you've ever heard a White Stripes song you liked, you will like Icky Thump. [18 June 2007] The White Stripes + The Shins + Brendan Benson: 24 September 2005 - Brooklyn, NYAgainst the backdrop of Coney Island, the Earth shook. And no, it wasn't from the Cyclone... [19 October 2005] San Diego Street Scene, Day One Featuring: The White Stripes, The Killers, Louis XIV, and GarbageWhat can you make of a festival that's called a 'street scene' but instead sprawls across a large stadium parking lot? [19 August 2005] Music Midtown 2005 Featuring Interpol + The White Stripes + Bloc Party + MoreThe truth was, I really did want to see the bands at Music Midtown more than the ones at Bonnaroo. I swear. [24 June 2005] 
The White Stripes: Get Behind Me SatanWhat may be surprising is how easily it leaves the electric guitar in its case, in favor of piano, marimbas, and a production aesthetic that recalls the dull haze of the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. [20 June 2005] The White Stripes: 22 May 2003 - Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe songs are stuck in my head, I can understand the fascination with the White Stripes. But I can't get a sense of who Jack and Meg White are in the midst of all this drama, I'm dizzied by the spectacle. [18 June 2003] 
The White Stripes: ElephantJust one listen to Elephant, the fourth and latest offering from Jack and Meg White, is proof enough that the Stripes have come to take us to rock nirvana. [4 April 2003]The White Stripes: 3 April 2002 - BostonThe White Stripes are the real deal. No bass guitar, no samples, no click tracks, no "exploratory jams" -- just monster tunes, earth-shaking guitar, a telepathically intuitive drummer, and a vocal delivery that can evoke Iggy Pop as easily as Gene Vincent. [10 April 2002] 
The White Stripes: White Blood CellsThe first thing that separates the White Stripes from the redundant, boring wank that passes for adventurous music these days is that the White Stripes can actually, you know, rock. [3 July 2001]
The White Stripes: De StijlThe White Stripes pony up the goods once again and these “modern white blues” taste like five different flavors of splendid, their kingdom may well come. [20 June 2000] |
