As the frontman and sole songwriter of The Strokes, Julian Casablancas helped ignite a depth charge that helped reinvigorate modern music. In 2013, Casablancas morphed into the next stage in his artistic development: The Voidz. Over the course of two albums—the daring 2014 debut album Tyranny and its 2018 follow-up Virtue — The Voidz’ wild genre-splicing was embraced by fans of all genres and critics alike, developing an underground cult following. From experimental and heavy metal to new wave and underground world music, all the way to old school hip-hop beats, indie rock, secret jazz, and classical leanings, The Voidz simply refer to their style (semi-jokingly) as "prison jazz." They’ve also furthered their mutant-pop tendencies via collaborations with like-minded artists as diverse as Daft Punk (Instant Crush, Infinity Repeating), Mac DeMarco (Did My Best), and an original song for Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto.
The Voidz 3rd album Like All Before You will be released September 20, 2024.
