The White Stripes October 4, 2007

The White Stripes are the Detroit duo of Jack and Meg White. Their music is grounded in punk and blues, but the undercurrent to all of their work has been a sense of simplicity, a love of American folk music, and a careful approach to intriguing, emotional, and evocative lyrics not found anywhere else in the punk, blues or garage rock landscape. Their new album is 'Icky Thump.'
