“Human Sadness” is still one of the most under appreciated songs of the century. It’s redefining, honestly one of my favourites ever :)

"Did my Best" is genuinely one of the best songs Julian has ever written.

Listening to The New Abnormal right after listening to The Voidz, the influence is MASSIVE especially in songs like "eternal summer" and "Ode to the Mets"

The Strokes: Fun, drunken nostalgia, sometimes, emotions.
Julian Casablancas: Sobriety sucks. Relationships…ehhh…could be better
The Voidz: Audible battery acid dipped in malt vinegar, hot Coca Cola with lime juice & pop rocks.
The man is a musical genius and I’m obsessed with everything he does. 🤘🖤

The Voidz are so underrated, hoping their next album comes out soon

''One Way Trigger'' and ''Selfless'' from The Strokes
''Human Sadness'' and ''The Eternal Tao'' from The Voidz
Julian uses the same chord progression on these songs (and there's more that i don't remember right now) and are basically the same song if you pay attention, he knows how to make the same chords unique enough to make them sound like different songs, that's a testament to his songwritting abilities

The Voidz made me realize what a great song writer Julian really is.

The fact that Julian's jingle for that French fashion campaign never officially released is a crime (and great video as always with that ETHOS mic)

human sadness and dare i care r both arguably the best song ever imo. julian just never misses

Thanks for bringing more exposure to them. Favorite band of all time; i started as a strokes fan ended up as a Voidz diehard.
I appreciate music that's so sonically dense and expressive that you can NEVER stop listening to it, much like Tame Impala. I love how every time I revisit Tyranny I have a new favorite track, every single one has so much thought and nuanced sounds that songs line "Nintendo Blood" can go under your radar then you realize its INCREDIBLE. That song paints the picture of trying to hold back a mental breakdown and wanting to be positive but just melts into this spine chilling existential crisis by the end. This band is so special, Julian is so special, I'm so glad this band exists. It's crazy to think they've been around for 8 years!

Virtue is one of the best albums of the last decade IMO. It’s just weird enough to make it experimental, but it’s also just fun as hell.

First Impressions is 100% underrated imo, so is Phrazes for the Young, both are definitely classics that are slept on. I saw the Strokes a few nights ago, and they played a majority of songs from First Impressions and the New Abnormal, I think some of their best songs are on First Impressions and it’s flows really well, not a miss on the whole thing. It’s my favorite of their albums personally, which I know if a hot take, but I think all their albums are classics except Comedown, just a few skips that didn’t age well for me. Great video!

so glad to see a bigger music channel talking about this absolute gem of a band, i don't think they get enough attention

Where no Eagles Fly is actually one of my favorite songs from pretty much anything remotely related to The Strokes, the main band included. It's that intense and badass
21 |
I don't understand the hate for First Impressions, it's a killer album.

Some of the best songs Julian has ever written were made for The Voidz! Quite underrated band for people who aren't previously fans of The Strokes

Julian and The Voidz came to São Paulo in 2017.
It was a great show. The venue was rather small, perhaps less than 800 people there.
I've seen the Strokes live multiples time, but I think I've never seen Julian so relaxed on stage. He was laughing and touching the audience, looking genuinely happy.
I still can't believe I've seen one of the great personalities in the history of music in such an informal situation.
Anyway, even though I don't think a lot of their songs are great, I believe the Voidz were a nice influence for Julian. They allowed him to relax, to lose the pressure of being a great rock star full of expectations and just to what the hell he wanted.

Honestly I love The Voidz, not like I love them as a die hard fan, but my fave tracks from Julian are from him in The Voidz: Leave It In My Dreams, Pink Ocean, QYURRYUS, Wink, Permanent High School.
Edit: the song that got me to them was QYURRYUS, I remember saying so bad, what the fuck is this cr4p?, then it's like, I mean it's weird?, then like, it's kinda ok? I guess somebody can like it I guess?, then I found myself singing that "I LOST WHATS MINE", all along my day while playing tf2, then I loved The Voidz and Virtue + The live versions of the tracks during the Night Show Tours (Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, and all that stuff) were so good, specially Leave It In My Dreams.
Such good music, quite unique listening experiences.

Happy to finally see this video, as I'm a strong advocate for the Voidz, particularly their debut. As much as I love the rock fusions of Virtue, it didn't immediately captivate me to the same degree that Tyranny did. The apocalyptic motiff, distorted vocals and instrumentals, the wide variety of influences. Its such a weird, fascinating piece of experimental noise that blew me away just as much on subsequent relistens as it did that first experience. The run from opener Take Me In Your Army all the way to Father Electricity is one of the most incredible runs of music on any album I've heard the last decade. That said, it isn't necessarily the most consistent record. The tracks Johan Von Bronx and Nintendo Blood don't do it for me as much as the rest. Even if I still like those tracks, they don't compare to what comes before and after them. But the highs are unrivaled for me. Crunch Punch and Where No Eagles Fly are some of the most lyrically rich songs in Julian's discography. M.utually A.ssured D.estruction is the most powerful, even raw depiction of anger and frustration I've heard in a rock song. Father Electricity and Dare I Care have some of the most off-kilter uses of Latin/Afro inspired sounds on the whole album. And of course, Human Sadness, which I honestly could never put to justice here. Julian's best song by a mile. And again, not to desparage or undercut Virtue, as its a fantastic follow-up, and showed that the band was more than just abrasive experimentalism. But I feel like its always overshadowing Tyranny when The Voidz is the topic of discussion. Sure, Tyranny is the far more sonically demanding project, but as a result its the more interesting of the two to me. Plus, it showed me that Julian was more than just the guy that started The Strokes. And as much as I love The Strokes, seeing the experimentalism here pay off is super rewarding. Easily my favorite album from Julian across all his projects, and I'd even argue one of the better albums of the 2010s.

The Voidz was a blessing in disguise for The Strokes. It allowed Julian do just try whatever he wanted without sticking to a certain "sound". It helped him progress as a song writer massively!
