They should come to Mexico, but it's a shame because most of the mexican people doesn't know them :( Interpolis, what's not to love? | Reviewer: Pie | 7/11/07 I had seen the name Interpol pop up on several websites and i heard them mentioned on radio & t.v. for a while before i first saw the video for Slow Hands, from their 2004 album "Antics". I loved the song rightaway; the blistering guitar, the rock-disco beat and the detached vocals of the singer(Paul Banks obviously, but i learned that later...). After all the positive reviews i read about their first album "Turn on the bright lights", i took a chance and bought "Antics" that very week. Good move on my part; what a great album from a great band! The dark, brooding, atmospheric music accompanied by haunting, yet often uplifting, lyrics blew me away and continues to do so 3 years after the fact. After 20- 30 listens of "Antics" i bought "Turn on the bright lights" and i've become an even bigger fan since then... Interpol have a great way of luring you into their music with a simple rif or bassline, but once the suck you in, there's no getting out... Enter the world of Interpol where every relationship can bring you giant highs or incredible lows, often times within the space of one song...(how cool is that?;-) I had the pleasure of seeing them live only 10 days ago at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium. I had heard/ read stories of Interpol playing their music really tight and with great craftmanship, and that they seldom (if ever!) interact with the crowd. I have to say: the concert was exactly like that: they played their music super-tight, and there was practically no interaction with the audience whatsoever. Having said this; it was a great f***ing concert! Playing their music as thight as it sounds on the record is no small achievement and their unattachment to the crowd just adds to the Interpol-cool and is kind of fitting for this band. Last week the new album "Our love to admire" came out and it's another great album. A worthy third album by a band that has found their own niche in music with their particular brand of brooding, (semi-)detached bursts of melody, harmony and rythm, all in perfectly crafted songs that can haunt your dreams if you let them....and why wouldn't you...? Go listen to their music and try to catch them live; Interpol is one of the great bands to come out of the post-punk movement and deserves to become even greater. Rock on! Wonderful | Reviewer: Mark From Denmark | 6/30/07 I have never in my live felt anything like, what im feeling these moments. I saw interpol a couple of days ago, for the second time and I've been haunted! I love their lyrics so much, so melancholic- so beautiful! Unfortunately I'm not that to interpret. I wish I could get the real meaning out of the songs. They are so beautiful, that I can't describe it. I feel like crying, and i consider myself as a "tough" guy! mind boggling | Reviewer: alexis | 4/23/07 i saw interpol last night at mac hall in calgary. it was the most amazing expereience of my life. the intense dominc look in paul banks eyes was enough to make me faint. carlos (bass) has the most amazing stage moves, he is so oddd but i was so unbelievably attracted to him. they play their songs identical to the recorded versions. the night was perfect and it was so worth everything i went through to get those tickets, i highly suggest that everyone sees them. hooked on Interpol | Reviewer: Patrick | 3/19/07 I first heard Interpol on myspace. The song, "Stella was a Diver and She was always down". Instantly was in love. From then I have heard all of two albums, "Antics" and "Turn on the Bright Lights". I have not listened to all the songs more than 2or3 times yet, but so far I like them all. What are your favorite songs/albums from the sounds of this incredible group? Just to note the fan spread I am a native Californian. There goes an eargasm | Reviewer: Shuffle | 2/8/07 The first song of theirs that I heard was Slow Hands, and I loved it right away. When they came to town, I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert, and aside from the Stones (which was purely mind blowing) it was the best one I've ever been to. The energy and emotion that they all put into their songs is amazing. I'd gotten Turn On The Bright Lights as a Christmas gift a few months previous, and at the concert, I got Antics, and although I preferred the latter at first, TOTBL was my favorite in the long run. It has has a much purer sound, devoid of the poppy repetition that makes Antics so addictive, yet, after a few listens, you have to put it away. Their similarities to Joy Division are incredibly ironic, considering that Paul hates them. Interpol is easily my favorite band of all times. i love interpol | Reviewer: punk_kitty | 10/8/05 interpol is the best band on the face of the earth!!!! their songs evil and slow hands (both of which can be found on blastro.com)are so alt, so good---- oh! and paul banks is hott!!!!!!! Rightous and Kickass | Reviewer: Brian Chase | 8/17/05 Amazing band, the Antics CD blew me away, ROCK ON!.... i know, but still, i love you guys Add New Review About The Artist By Pages:   1    2
