“The Modern Age” was one of three tracks included on "The Modern Age" EP that prompted a record label bidding war and later appeared on their debut studio album "Is This It". The track is an observation of life’s idiosyncrasies in “modern” times. It stomps like a renegade elephant with bashed kickdrums and turbulent guitar riffs while Casablancas passionately reels off in an unsteady sing-speak that invokes all the right elements of a great rock leadman.
