The Modern Age is the debut EP by American indie rock band The Strokes. It was released on January 29, 2001, in the United Kingdom, by independent label Rough Trade Records, and May 22, 2001, in the United States, sparking a bidding war among record labels, the largest for a rock band in years.
"The Modern Age", and the other tracks on The Modern Age EP would later be re-recorded for their debut album, Is This It, with slightly altered lyrics and arrangements.
