The Strokes – This Is It but it’s only bass and drums

Reddit and guitarist cat nip. The Strokes classic album This Is It but without the rest of the band.

Like listening to The Strokes rhythm section warm up while the other lads are out getting coffee.

Beating on Youtube is isolating records from Arctic Monkeys, Interpol and Simple Plan.


There’s the opposite version too – just guitar and vocals.

Still, less embarrassing than the drumless version of Random Access Memories that was actually released last year right?
