THE WHITE STRIPES was/is one of the greatest bands of the 21st Century.
Meg and Jack were a mean blues-rock machine who released 6 albums
between 1999 and 2007.

One of their best LPs, without a shadow of a doubt, is their
breaktrough one ELEPHANT released 20 years ago (1 April 2003).

The opening track and also the album’s first single SEVEN NATION ARMY
(more than 1 billion streams so far on Spotify – 1.290.780.863 to be exact)
made them famous around the globe. It was at #1 on the UK indie charts
and #1 on the US Alternative Charts.

The accompanying video (more than 554 million views on YouTube, so far)
was a cool rock ‘n’ roll one with, of course, Meg and Jack, as the charismatic
stars in the middle.

Two Nation Blues Army THE WHITE STRIPES Released ‘GET BEHIND ME SATAN’ 15 Years Ago Today…

7 June 2020

Band: The White Stripes – Jack and Meg White
Active: 1997-2011
Album: Get Behind Me Satan – the duo’s fifth LP
Released: 7 June 2005 – 15 years ago today

Pitchfork wrote: “On their fifth album, the White Stripes’ ambitions finally seem to outpace their limited musical vocabulary. Making an almost-entirely clean break with the jet-fueled blues-rock of Elephant and De Stijl, they forsake electric guitar on all but a couple of tracks, working instead with pianos, acoustic guitars, marimbas, and other assorted oddball percussion.”
