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.

They sound alot Franz Ferdinand with a little more bass i think well at least according to me	NO-Core
They have been compared to Joy Division. Kind of the missing link between Franz Ferdinand and Joy Division. But not nearly as annoying as Franz Ferdinand. That band drives me up a wall and makes me want to pull my fingernails out with wirecutters, whilst stabbing myself in the ear. But I enjoy Interpol. I'll message you a link to hear them...	SyntheticxDreams
Or you can watch their music videos at: http://www.matadorrecords.com/interpol/	SyntheticxDreams
there very very dark garage pop.	the_enora_shadow
I don't think they are that dark. More like Joy Division on anti-depressants.	SyntheticxDreams
i would not associate interpol with them evil is hot the music video is creppy	lisa_c_
creepy* ;)	lisa_c_
Dancing puppets are creepy?	SyntheticxDreams
Are weird, the puppets. Interpol is... like dark and soft music.The song "next exit" sound like an organ of a church, I mean the beggining, but is cool anyways.	white_eagle
hey, just wanted to say hi to syntheticxdreams..............	sevorgdrah
I really must wonder how many boards you have stalked me to sevor, you should do something more constructive with your time...	SyntheticxDreams
oh but i am doing something constructive with my time, all those times i spend watching you through ur window on isound, its great fun!! and as for the number of posts i wrote that on, lol, u should check em out for yourself coz i lost count after like the first 20....	sevorgdrah
i agree with SyntheticxDreams.franc ferdinand is nothing more than a bad copy of interpol and i hate when someone compares it with it.	ivankuzmanov
i'd say interpol has a post-punk/rock sound like joy division meets the cure. really mellow and bassy stuff though slow hands is really upbeat. obstacle 1 is really the cure-ish.	emoette
they sound exactly like 'she wants revenge'.	cyeniDexkisses69
interpol is cool	lacunacoilfan15
