"The White Stripes are an American Blues-rock duo from Detroit, composed of Jack White on guitar, piano, lead vocals and songwriting, and Meg White on drums, percussion and vocals. The group rose to prominence as part of the garage rock revival with the albums White Blood Cells and Elephant; the latter featured their most commercially successful song, 'Seven Nation Army', which won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The White Stripes are known for their raw low fidelity sound and the simplicity of their compositions and arrangements mostly inspired by punk rock, American blues and country music.

The White Stripes (Megan Martha White, drums, vocals; and Jack White whose original name was John Anthony Gillis, guitar, piano, lead vocals) were formed in Detroit in 1997, specifically Bastille Day (see 1997 in music). The duo began receiving more attention after Jack White made the tandem the primary focus of his efforts, after his unceremonious "firing" from the Detroit garage-rock band The Go. While Jack and Meg have claimed to be siblings, a marriage license has proven that they are in fact a divorced couple.
