The White Stripes were an iconic American rock duo that left an indelible mark on the music scene with their raw, garage rock sound infused with blues and punk elements. Formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan, the band consisted of guitarist and vocalist Jack White and drummer Meg White. Their low-fidelity approach to music and their distinctive red, white, and black color scheme became a signature part of their identity. Despite a widespread misconception that the two were siblings, Jack and Meg were, in fact, a married couple at the outset of their career, later divorcing in 2000 but still maintaining their musical partnership.
Throughout their active years, The White Stripes released several critically acclaimed albums, including 'Elephant' and 'White Blood Cells,' both contributing to their status as pivotal figures in the garage rock revival of the 2000s. Their sound was characterized by stripped-down, minimalist arrangements that relied heavily on Jack's guitar work and Meg's primal drumming style, creating an unexpected fullness and intensity. The single "Seven Nation Army" from their 2003 album 'Elephant' became an anthem noted for its instantly recognizable guitar riff and has been chanted in sports stadiums around the world. Despite their success, the band maintained an air of mystery and simplicity. They announced their official split in 2011, leaving fans with a body of work that encapsulates their unique artistry and impact on modern rock music. Their live performances and posthumous releases, such as 'Under Great White Northern Lights,' capture the raw energy and authenticity that defined their storied career.
