New York, United States (1998 – present)
Interpol is an indie rock band based in New York City consisting of Paul Banks (vocals and guitar), Carlos Dengler (bass and keyboards), Sam Fogarino (drums), and Daniel Kessler (guitar and backing vocals).
Interpol’s sound is characterized by a mix of bass throb and choppy, sparse guitar. They have been compared to Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Chameleons for their similarly stark, sombre sound and obtuse, abstract lyrics.
The band formed in 1998 when Daniel Kessler met drummer Greg Drudy, now a member of post-hardcore/screamo band Hot Cross, on the New York University campus. Kessler later added Carlos D. on the bass after meeting him in a history class. The line-up was complete after Kessler ran into Paul Banks, a friend whom he had met in Paris. In 2000, Sam Fogarino, whom the band knew through his job at a local record store, replaced Drudy.
The band released a new song, ‘Direction’, on the soundtrack of the television program ‘Six Feet Under’ on June 28, 2005. Shortly thereafter they left Matador for a major label.
Our Love to Admire was released on July 10, 2007 in the USA (July 9 UK) to generally favorable reviews. ‘The Heinrich Maneuver’ is its first single.
There was also a German band called Interpol, active in the late 60s and early 70s as part of the emerging Krautrock scene. They were associated with the famous early Krautrock band Floh de Cologne.

@azureamethyst; mine is also live version. there is, however, a better version on youtube. you can rip it off from there.

Mascara is the shorter/slightly different version of Cubed, and it's amazing. I can hook you up with the version I've got, but the quality isn't the best (it's live). Firemsi, is yours better? And as for Antics, it's better than OLTA, for sure. But it's been a steady slow downwards progression imo for Interpol. OLTA has good pop tracks, but that's not the Interpol I dig. Wrecking Ball is great though.

Mind Over Time is always gonna be my favourite. Seriously, what a song. I've heard there's a song called "Mascara" by them, but I can't seem to find it - anyone wanna help me out here?

Firemsi wrote:
To say another personel thought, each track of turn on the bright lights is good one by one. Antics has a few fuck-ups in it. The number of fuck-ups has sharply increased in OLTA. It's the way Interpol's chronology goes. I hope the upcoming album will twist this cursed line. :P

It's been a long time. We shouldn't have left you...After the touring for OLTA came to an end, we all dispersed to tend to our individual personal lives....And to get our ducks in a row. Now the ban...
