The Postelles' Perky, Strokes-Like '123 Stop'

This stream is no longer available.

Much like the Strokes, the members of the Postelles met at a Manhattan high school and play tightly constructed retro rock built on the foundation of new wave and Motown. But while the Strokes have an aloof, cool-dude vibe, the Postelles are perky and big-hearted. "123 Stop," a highlight from their their debut self-titled full-length album was produced by Strokes member Albert Hammond, Jr. and showcases the band at their sunny best. The album will hit stores on June 7th, but you can stream or download the song today.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
