One of the leading bands in the post-2000 garage rock revival, The White Stripes was an alternative rock band, primarily comprised by Jack White(singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist) and Meg White (drummer). Although their typical song is simplistic with Meg White's drumming in particularoften being criticized, and their sounds lo-fi, they have become one of the largest bands in the world in recent years.

The band formed in 1997 after Jack and Meg's marriage (the duo often portrayed themselves as being sibling) and after Meg had taken up the drums.With their third album, "White Blood Cells", the duo were launched into the limelight, with the track "Fell in Love with a Girl" single (and its Lego-animation music video directed by Michel Gondry) showcasing their sound."Elephant" (2003) further elevated the band's position, being released topositive acclaim and reaching the top of the UK album charts.

2005's "Get Behind Me Satan" saw the band attempting to move away from their typical sound, with instruments such as the marimba being used forthe first time. Critical and commercial response was mixed, and this year saw the band court further controversy when Jack White agreed to write asong for a Coca-Cola commercial. Their latest album, Icky Thump, was released in June 2007.

On February 2, 2011, the rock duo publically announced their disbandment. They specifically denied any artistic differences or health issues, but cited"a myriad of reasons ... mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band". « hide
