Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ???


I keep hearing one of their tunes on the radio ( Fell in love with a girl ). It does not sound like the typical "alterna-metali-pap*" that some of the local stations typically play. As such, it did not seem to blend in that well and really caught my ear.

As soon as it started, i instantly pictured the Davies brothers ( aka The Kinks ) going of on one of their high energy rampages like back in "da old days". If someone would have told me that it was an old Kinks tune, i would have had no problem believing them.

With that in mind, does anybody know anything about this band ? Where are they from, how many albums, how is the rest of the album that this song came from, etc... ??? Are they worth checking out ??? Sean

*simplification for the generic new music that blends alternative, metal, pop and rap all into one mish-mash that lacks creativity and individuality. You know the stuff, you hear it on the radio and MTV every day i.e. modern music "bullshit"...
