Red. White. Red and White. These colours, paired with their simplistic approach to music let the White Stripes create some of the most original and sincere music in a long time. The White Stripes hail from the depths of Southwest Detroit. In a city ravaged by drugs, ghettos, gangs, and racism, the White Stripes give people a reason to hope for rebirth. A phoenix rising from the ashes if you will.

The new record tentively titled, "White Blood Cells" (Sympathy for the Record Industry) will continue to establish the White Stripes as an exciting and increasingly talented brother sister duo the likes of which has not been seen since the Collins Kids... the White Stripes are gonna continueto shake EVERYTHING up real good and proper and by the close of 2001 they will have secured themselves a much deserved place in the history books which document the best in blues and rock n' roll....
