The White Stripes are one of the hottest bands around. Their red, white and black style is second to none and their live shows are the stuff of legend.
The band was formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan and consists of Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano) and Meg White (vocals and drums). Debate over the relationship between the two was rife until it was revealed that they used to be married.
First album The White Stripes was released in 1999, with second album De Stijl being released in 2000. Success came with third album White Blood Cells which was released in 2001 and re-released in 2002. This album included hits such as Hotel Yorba and Fell in Love With a Girl, which had a famous video which was made from Lego.
Elephant was released in 2003 and it featured the bands most famous release, Seven Nation Army. Fifth album Get Behind Me Satan was released in 2005 and most recent album Icky Thump was released in 2007.
