The New York City band woke the whole scene up with the game-changing album Is This It in 2001. The single Last Nite was the living proof that rock ‘n’ roll could still sound exciting and dangerous, so much so that it triggered a trend that still lasts to this day. The nervous guitar styles of Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi perfectly complement each other, their sounds and the parts they play.
