The Strokes launch Pirate Radio Series

The Strokes’ new album, The New Abnormal, hits the shelves tomorrow and because promoting the record on late-night TV, through radio interviews or by playing shows, is a bit difficult right now, the legendary rockers have launched their own pirate radio show: Five Guys talking about things they know nothing about.

Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture, and Fabrizio Moretti dropped the first episode Wednesday. The 17-minute episode is mostly just scatter-brained musings and inside jokes.

The guys briefly touch on Lizzie Goodman’s Meet Me in the Bathroom oral history, past interactions with Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, and Hammond’s idea for a car-based interview series that pre-dated Carpool Karaoke and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Casablancas also pulls up a classic clip of Bill Withers, which they all reflect on together.

Their 'abnormal' radio show is pretty bonkers, but fans of The Strokes will no doubt enjoy seeing the band chilling in their homes talking shit.

According to Casablancas, The Strokes will use the next episode of Five Guys talking about things they know nothing about to preview their upcoming album, The New Abnormal, which is set to arrive tomorrow, on April 10.
