Is This It Lyrics. Initially appearing as tossed off as a few notes haphazardly scribbled after an afternoon nap, the lyrics to Is This It manifest that lead vocalist and primary songwriter Julian Casablancas wasnt the aloof ragamuffin the media portrayed him to be if anything, Is This It is a testament to the virtues of keeping your nose to the grindstone.

The story behind The Strokes Is This It album cover. We spoke to photographer Colin Lane the man behind the lens about that iconic album image and what it was like to shoot the band at the start of their career. The Strokes, steered musically by the doe-eyed Julian Casablancas, changed all that, ushering a whole new wave of pretty-dirty guitar heroes into our lives, bands that looked good and sounded better.
