Biography

Created in 1988 in New York by the foursome: Greg Drudy (drums),Daniel Kessler(vocals & guitar), Carlos Dengler(bass & keyboards), and Paul Banks (guitar and vocals). The band started their gigs early 2000 in places like Brownie's and the Mercury Lounge. The also toured in the U.K. in April of 2001. Drudy later left the band and was replaced by Sam Fogarino who induced Interpol with a more Punk sound. Their first relese was their FukdID EP series. Due to the increase in their popularity they played more shows in the U.K. and started playing in France. In late November of 2001 Interpol fled to Connecticut to seek haven at once mental hospital to record a full-length album which was titled: Turn on the Bright Lights. The dark and hypnotic yet mellow sounds of this album turned Interpol from New Yorks well known quartet into one of America's high powered bands. Some inspirations to this powerful Indie Rock band are Joy Division, Television and The Chameleons UK.

im really loving interpol's music. i think they are america's answer to radiohead.	zero18
Radiohead??? I never did and prob never will understand why that band is interesting! Interpol is far better. Joy Division and Gang Of Four isalways mentioned as source of inspiration but what is a more obvious source never referred is Kitchens Of Distinction.	de_Biafra
Wow, I never met an interpol fan who didn't love radiohead.	zero18
=> U never met anyone BEFORE - I guess is what U mean?! I really like Interpol but am a bit sad how they have copied some of their songs. Take "Say Hello To The Angels" and listen to the Smiths "This Charming Man" - it's nearly 2 close! Then listen to "Take You On A Cruise" from Antics and listen to the album "Strange Free World" (1990) by Kitchens Of Distinction and U get my point! But I DO really enjoy 'em big time in songs like PDA, Narc, and Obstacle 1!	de_Biafra
i love the song PDA and obstacle 1, i also love slow hands off their new album that is such a great song and i love their video clip to go with it.	YesPlease
