American rock band ‘The Stokes’ launched the first episode of their new online video series titled ‘Five Guys Talking About Things They Know Nothing About’.
For showing their creativity during the self isolation period, their first episode was posted on YouTube earlier today (April 9).
The episode was hosted on Zoom where the band described it as “Private radio show thing” in anticipation of their new album ‘The New Abnormal’.
“Like many out there we are staying pretty much at home and keeping to ourselves,” The Strokes wrote in the YouTube description.
“We wanted to see if we could connect with folks, and turned what was supposed to be a pirate radio thing for our album release (which we would make in-person) into a video chat instead… In light of everything that’s been happening, we hope this distracts you during your quarantine.”
“The band had dreamed of this show for many years and here we are finally”, said front man Julian Casablancas.
To commemorate the life of music legend Bill Withers, the band also watched a live recording of Withers performing ‘Lean On Me’.
“He’s one of the greatest ever,” added Casablancas.
Before concluding the show, Casablancas promised that the next episode would feature a review of ‘The New Abnormal’.
