Born in Texas 1936, Roy Orbison is known for his intensely dark ballads as well lighter rockabilly hits. His music career was at its’ peak between 1959 and 1965, when he was undoubtedly the most influential musician in rock. At a time when his contemporaries were shaking their hips, tapping away in blue suede shoes or burning up the piano, Roy Orbison provided a quiet contrast. He was famously still on stage, entirely without gestures or conventional crowd pleasers. He would, instead, hide behind his trademark dark glasses and simply sing.

Heralded as the Saviours of rock’n’roll after the release of their debut album Is This It in 2001, the Strokes have since been burdened with heavy expectations from both critics and fans. Is This It was an unfaultable album in both content and concept. It injected some much needed gritty 70s- cool into an industry that had become increasingly fluffed and folded by synth-sounds and pop-princesses. The arrangements were tight and lean, packed with catchy hooks, grungy chords and frenetic drumming passages. Most significantly, the world was introduced to the unique Strokes sound through Julian Casablancas’ grimy and compressed sounding vocals. This album received a killer reception worldwide, as people breathed out a collective sigh of relief at finally hearing something fresh, funky and fun. Sophie Leahy: sophie.leahy@stellargroup.com
