The Modern Age
"The Modern Age" is a song by American rock band the Strokes, featured on both the debut EP named after itself, and on their debut album, Is This It, with different song arrangements and slightly changed lyrics. It was released on January 29, 2001, in the United Kingdom, by independent label Rough Trade Records, and May 22, 2001, in the United States, sparking a bidding war among record labels, the largest for a rock band in years.
"The Modern Age", and the other tracks on The Modern Age EP would later be re-recorded for their debut album, Is This It, with slightly altered lyrics and arrangements.
