Interpol biography

The dark side of the turn of the century’s post-punk revival, Interpol formed in New York City, USA during the summer of 1997. 12 years since their debut album, 2002’s “Turn On The Bright Lights” their atmospheric and energetic indie rock continues to be a critical and commercial success.

The band are currently made up of singer and guitarist Paul Banks, drummer Sam Fogarino and lead guitarist Daniel Kessler. Unlike many of their contemporaries, they are one of the few bands who came to prominence in the great indie rock boom of the early 2000’s to keep their creative spark alive into the new decade.

This is especially impressive considering that in 2010 the band's unofficial frontman, effortlessly suave bassist Carlos Dengler, left the band after growing tired of the touring lifestyle. Many thought that they would be rudderless ship after he left, but many were wrong.

Ever since they formed, the band had been an equal collaboration between every member. They’ve never had a main songwriter and still don’t have one to this day. With Dengler gone, a crucial element of that dynamic went with him but after a long break, they were able to return to their former glory with style.

They returned with 2014’s “El Pintor”, an album that went to the top ten on the album charts of both sides of the Atlantic and restored the bands mojo in thrilling fashion, with their icy, edgy post-punk never sounding more exciting and totally unique as it does now.

With experience and ability on their side, Interpol have quite simply never been a better band than they are today. They’re at their peak, and they’re only going to get better, so join the ride now, and you will not regret it!

Live reviews

Live Interpol is an experience every fan should have. The music, the lights, Daniel Kessler's dancing, and the just whole atmosphere. There is a euphoric quality once the band starts up. Usually it begins with the first track from their latest album. The bass of the drum coincides with the beat of your body, the guitar will resuscitate your heartstrings, and once Paul's lips sing into the microphone you will swoon in tears of delight.

The band is not very talkative and they may interact with the crowd here and there. But, for them it is about the music and intricate orchestration of it all. You will not be displeased.

Sam's been known to throw out drumsticks to the crowd, as well as Daniel giving away some guitar picks. If you happen to be the kind of Interpol fan that not only wants the experience to hear the band live, they are really cool about meeting up with the fans after the show. Taking pictures with the fans, signing countless vinyl, posters, and memorabilia, as well as just pleasurable conversations amongst the fans.

Every time Interpol is in my surrounding area I make sure to buy a ticket and watch these men put on a phenomenal live performance. You'll never forget in your lifetime. I promise.

I couldn't go to the gig because I was neither emailed nor posted my tickets!! I purchased them with my phone and although I downloaded the file attachment, nothing appeared on my device. I couldn't return to my account page either as I must have purchased them as a guest. I even downloaded the song kick app but it was trying to sell me the tickets again. Not user friendly at all
