Novo and Philip (philipchurch.tech) discuss landmark album "Is This It" by The Strokes, focusing on its history, legacy, how it changed the music industry over night with its lightning-in-a-bottle sound, how it brought "Rock Music" into the 21st Century, and why so many bands after this owe this album such an incredible debt.
