What happens when you haven’t put out a record in five long years and you announce that you’re making your new single available for free on your website at a specific time?
The seemingly reinforced walls of the Interweb come crumbling down. The Strokes official website has been inaccessible for the last 20 minutes as eager fans have been flooding the site for the free download.
But thanks to one good samaritan, the single can be downloaded through Mediafire. For now, anyways.
Our Liner Notes is now available for sale through Etsy, which can be found in their books and zines showcase section. Buy your copy today!
