Interpol was created in New York City in 1998. The original line-up of the band was Greg on drums, Daniel on guitar, Paul on vox and guitar, and Carlos on bass. Between ’98 and 2000, the four lads forged a unique sound in a variety of the city’s decrepit and shady rental rehearsal rooms. Paying by the hour, they cultivated a unique aesthetic and developed their notoriously delicate and complicated creative process. In 2000, Greg and the band split leaving Daniel, Paul, and Carlos with a significant and reflective hiatus. It soon came about that Interpol would try out Sam, whom Daniel knew through the record store where Sam worked. Sam was perfect for the band as he gave Interpol a healthy shot of punk aggression and rhythmic backbone. Now with the line-up revitalized, Interpol resumed gigging at venues like Brownies, Mercury Lounge, and The Bowery Ballroom. Throughout 2000 and 2001 they opened for bands like ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Arab Strap, and The Delgados. Then came Interpol’s first release, at the end of 2000, in the form of the third installment of the FukdID EP series on Scottish label Chemikal Underground. Around the same time, the band also contributed an unreleased track, "Song Seven," to the Fierce Panda Records compilation Clooney Tunes. Popularity abroad increased as a result of regular rotation on London’s XFM. In April 2001 Interpol played in Glasgow, Manchester, and London, capping off their visit with a session for the famed John Peel. Later on in August and November, the group visited France with appearances at festivals La Route du Rock (St. Malo) and Festival Off (Paris) respectively. In November of 2001, the band tucked themselves away in Connecticut at Tarquin Studios to record their debut full-length. The album was recorded and mixed by Peter Katis (Mercury Rev, Clem Snide) and Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Clinic.)

Review about Interpol

what can I say.. | Reviewer: azer | 7/6/09

the mix of the chameleons & joy division. interpol is my favourite post-punk revival band, from its mysterious sound to paul banks who succes revive the voice of ian curtis. some dumbass that don't know this band, please shut up! u can ask more from them!

Amazing! | Reviewer: @ | 1/12/09

Interpol is my all-time favorite band. My mom absolutely loves them, and at first I though, "Great more whiny music." I thought that for a while until I heard "The Heinrich Manuvere" on "Our Love to Admire". That song changed my entire view on Interpol. I was Teporarily obsessed with this song, but later moved on to "Narc" on "Antics", which is still one of my favorite songs, I listen to it eveytime I turn on my iPod. More Interpol songs I can't live without:
PDA (Turn on the Bright Lights)
Obstacle 2 (Turn on the Bright Lights)
Evil (Antics)
Narc (Antics)
Not Even Jail* (Antics)
The Heinrich Manuvere (Our Love to Admire)
Pace is the Trick* (Our Love to Admire)
Who Do You Think? (Our Love to Admire)

As you can see, I really love Interpol, and I seriously suggest that you download all of the songs I just mentioned (or better yet, buy the albums!)

*The musical interlude in Not Even Jail and Pace is the Trick sound very similar, but they're still absolutely amazing. They put a smile on my face eveytime!

Hope you liked my review!

Amazing!!!! | Reviewer: Amanda | 12/11/07

What can i say, I Love Interpol!!!! I recently saw Interpol at the state theater in Minneapolis,MI. I Went my older brother, the liars that opened for them were needless to say "very lucky" to be opening for such a great band! My brother and I were blown away at how great they were live.

Is a beatiful sound | Reviewer: Mauricio | 12/7/07

I saw them last night at Jimmy Kimmel show for the first time, Their sound for me is a mix of The doors and radio head. I am Metallica fan, but let me tell you; Interpol is a great band, love them. Thankx.

im sorry | Reviewer: špela | 11/5/07

im sorry that they are missunderstud, my boyfrend says that they are the most teribble band in the world. maybe i should left him???
nobody says that to my band!!!!

Good Band | Reviewer: Rudy | 11/4/07

I just saw them a couple weeks ago in San Francisco for the first time, they put on an awesome show and now I can't get enough of their music. "Pioneer to the falls" has been stuck in my head for a couple days. And I agree with the guy below, the opening band on their tour "the liars," are a complete joke. However they are funny to watch for that very reason

Interpol Live: Austin TX | Reviewer: pndixon | 10/3/07

Saw them live at Stubbs with my buddy Mic. Liars opened for them and...the Liars were really bad. They seem to try really hard to be old-school punks, but wow (there's that word again) they really need to get back in the garage and practice and develop a real sound, one that actually goes somewhere. Anyway, once Interpol hit the stage all was much better. It was the same set from when I saw them in Norfolk (Norva), which was a great show. The sound was a bit too high, in fact it blew a fuse or something about 2/3 through the set - even Paul commented to the crowd that it was too f'ing loud. The guys weren't quite as energetic as in Norfolk, but it is a long tour. They did very well. Cheers all.

Distelligent | Reviewer: Shitfuck | 9/28/07

Interpol is the most horrid "indie" band ever. Anything with that label in general needs to be extinguished as fast as possible. Scenesters who think they have some shred of wit and brain-power latch onto this genre like sharks in a feeding frenzy.

Good riddance

Great | Reviewer: Tony | 9/5/07

Amazing music from an american band, subttle lurics and a unique sound; for a fun used to british indy music, interpol are a very good and different alternative group coming from across the atlantic.

I want to marry Interpol | Reviewer: Andrea | 9/4/07

I'm so in love with this band. Their sound is so unique and haunting. I saw them before I'd ever heard of them...shortly after the release of Turn on the Bright Lights when they opened for the Cure's world tour. I was immediately blown away. I've listened to Antics and Turn on the Bright Lights about a million times each and seen them live once since them. I can't wait to see them come through Denver in October. Just got the Our Love to Admire...mmmm. Thank you Paul.
