NEW YORK - After three albums and massive critical adulation, the much-hyped New York band The Strokes are disbanding.

The group's management issued a terse, one paragraph statement today, indicating that it was with great regret that they confirm the disbanding of the group due to "fashion differences".

Earlier in the week, an intercepted text message sent from singer Julian Casablancas to Jimmy Walker of "Good Times" fame, saying, in part, "Keep the rest of 2008 open, bro, we gonna take our Brothers Johnson tribute act to Vegas, baby" led to speculation of the group's demise.

Drummer Fabrizio Moretti then called into the Binky and Buttsauce internet radio show to say that he'd actually been kicked out of the band months earlier. "(The rest of the band) decided that the sooner they dismantled the original line-up, the sooner the public would care about the original line-up getting back together. I knew I'd drawn the short straw when I discovered my drums in a dumpster next to our rehearsal space and a voice mail from Drew (Barrymore) telling me were were over. I'm still pretty shaken up by the whole thing."

The band's label, RCA, is moving forward with plans to release a compilation CD this fall, having now re-titled the comp, "Yep, That's It".

I liked the sob story from the drummer. Even if it is true, that's fucking hilarious.

I hope somebody's actually trying to figure all this out.

This was a good way to call out the Strokes haters.

Haha, I think I've always been pretty vocal about it.
