Best known as the Strokes' rhythm (and occasional lead)
guitarist, Albert Hammond, Jr., is also the son of
singer/songwriter Albert Hammond, whose hits include "It
Never Rains in Southern California," "When I Need You,"
and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before." Born in Los
Angeles, Hammond went to the prestigious Swiss boarding Le
Institut le Rosey as a teenager, where he met future
Strokes singer Julian Casablancas. When Hammond moved to
New York City to attend New York University's film school
in the late '90s, he reconnected with Casablancas, and the
Strokes were born. While Casablancas is the band's chief
songwriter, Hammond co-wrote Room on Fire's "Automatic
Stop" and also wrote songs that appeared on the Strokes'
2001 tour video, In Transit. Hammond revamped and renamed
these tracks and included them on his solo debut album,
Yours to Keep, which featured bassist Josh Lattanzi and
drummer Matt Romano as his main support. A host of indie
celebrities, including Casablancas, Sean Lennon, Ben
Kweller, Fountains of Wayne's Jody Porter, and the
Strokes' manager, Ryan Gentles, also appeared on the
album, which was released on Rough Trade in fall 2006 in
the U.K. and early in 2007 on New Line in the U.S.
