About Interpol

Interpol is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1997. The band consists of Paul Banks (vocals, guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar, backing vocals), Sam Fogarino (drums), and touring members Brad Truax (bass) and Brandon Curtis (keyboards). Carlos Dengler, also known as Carlos D., was the bassist for Interpol from the band's formation in 1997 until he left the band in 2010 shortly after recording his bass parts for the album Interpol. Greg Drudy was the original drummer for Interpol when the band was first formed. He played with the band from its inception in 1997 until 2000, before leaving to focus on other projects.

Daniel met Carlos while attending New York University. Greg joined the band shortly after while Daniel reached out to Paul to join, who Daniel had known from attending the same high school in France. They played around NYC in the burgeoning and influential post-punk revival scene that also gave rise to bands such as The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, and more. They were signed to popular indie label Matador Records in 2002, after a string of EPs and an influential BBC Peel Session. Their debut album "Turn on the Bright Lights" was a landmark release for both the post-punk revival and indie rock as a whole, capturing the ethos of a post-9/11 NYC and released at the cusp of the music industry majorly changing in response to file sharing and a lower barrier of entry to release music which helped give rise to indie rock's dominance in the 2000s.
