Lightning Strokes Coxon

Graham Coxon has joined the all-consuming frenzy surrounding The Strokes, claiming "they might save pop music", in an exclusive dotmusic interview.

Coxon, who released his third solo album 'Crow Sit On Blood Tree' last month, told us the New York City rock and roll heroes had made him cry, such was their impact on him.

He explained: "I love The Strokes. I was thanking somewhere for them this morning. They might save pop music. That's pop music to me.

"I'm old, so pop's not really my bag, but they bring tears to my eyes, because I've needed them for so long. You know, a new groove. Anything is possible with The Strokes, that's the beauty of it."

Meanwhile, Coxon explains in the interview what the future holds for Blur as they prepare to reconvene in the studio to record their first album since 1999's '13'.
