NYCC - The Strokes Tribute

Similar to New York's finest indie rockers, we met at school in Lincoln (Lincoln, U.K., not Nebraska, U.S.) in the mid 90's. After writing and performing in various bands over the last 25 years and spending the best part of those decades looking and sounding like The Strokes, in the summer of 2023 we had a lightbulb moment and New York City Cops was born.

We're not going to give ourselves one of those made-up taglines ('The UK's BEST Strokes Tribute!', 'The UK's PREMIER Strokes Tribute!', 'The UK's ONLY unicycle-riding, fire-breathing Strokes Tribute!') but, if we did, we'd talk about our authenticity and attention-to-detail: from period-correct guitars and pedals to playing every song note-for-note, with the same energy that The Strokes give them. We've even had some of their vintage tees custom-made for the eagle-eyed Strokers out there (we know who you are).

And if that doesn't whet your whistle, we're also the ONLY Strokes tribute band in the world to have recorded songs from The Strokes' first album with their producer, Gordon Raphael. In fact, only two bands in existence have recorded the songs Last Nite and Someday with Gordon: The Strokes, and New York City Cops
