SURPRISE
New Music & Coachella is Calling
April 7th, 2026 by Jimmy Alvarez
As another epic opening weekend at Coachella draws near, one of the featured acts has just dropped a surprise new single.
The Strokes have been part of the musical landscape since 1998 and as they get ready to take the stage in front of a mega-crowd at the Polo Grounds, they gave all their fans a taste of what’s coming.
It was 1998 when we got our first taste of the New York alt rockers. It’s hard to explain, but the Casablancas hit parade has given us ear candy with songs for years.
For me, I could not hear “Last Nite” enough when it first dropped. It was just so different, cool guitar riffs with just enough of a quirky twist.
Since then, their hit parade took off with songs like “12:51,” “Someday,” “Reptilia,” “Under Cover of Darkness,” and “Juicebox” among a number of other songs that mean so many things to so many people for so many different reasons!
The upcoming album, “Reality Awaits” is the first since 2020’s “The New Abnormal,” which garnered Julian Casablancas & Co. its first Grammy. Now, with a new single release to really excite the fanbase, they are making noise, the good noise… new music!
The Strokes are playing Coachella this weekend; they’re also headlining Bonnaroo and Outside Lands this summer. So get out and catch them whenever they come to a city near you!
As for “Reality Waits,” we have to wait just a little longer for the drop date, but it will land this summer… so stay tuned!
