Although formed during the late '90s, Interpol rose to
international attention in 2002 as part of New York City's
post-punk revival. The group took its cues from Joy
Division and the Chameleons, fashioning a darkly
atmospheric sound helmed by intricate guitars and Paul
Banks' somber baritone. Interpol also had a striking
visual presence marked by the members' fondness for suits,
which only strengthened their stately, British-influenced
appeal. Nevertheless, the band remained rooted in America,
where guitarist Daniel Kessler and drummer Greg Drudy
first struck up a musical partnership while attending New
York University. Carlos Dengler, another NYU student who
had previously played guitar, joined as the group's
bassist -- and by sheer coincidence, Kessler later bumped
into Paul Banks, a guitarist/vocalist whom Kessler had
spent time with in France. Having settled on an initial
lineup, Interpol became a fully active band in 1998 and
began issuing a series of 8-track recordings. After the
band's first gigs in early 2000, Drudy vacated his
position and was replaced by drummer Sam Fogarino.
Regular appearances at New York venues like Brownie's and
the Mercury Lounge helped endear Interpol to local
audiences. Meanwhile, a brief U.K. tour in April 2001 was
punctuated by a radio session for John Peel's BBC program,
which expanded the band's audience overseas. 2001 also saw
the band releasing its third EP, Precipitate, and
appearing on the compilation album This Is Next Year, a
double-disc set of Brooklyn-area acts. Matador Records
signed the band in early 2002; by the year of the year,
the independent label had issued both a three-song single
and the band's debut LP, Turn on the Bright Lights. The
album turned Interpol into a successful indie rock act,
providing further proof that New York City had become a
hub of marketable post-punk revivalism in the early 21st
century.
Extensive touring followed, including international dates
and television appearances. The band also opened for the
Cure as part of that band's Curiosa Festival; soon after,
Interpol released its second album, 2004's Antics. Three
songs entered the Top 40 charts in the U.K., where the
record later went gold. Following a major-label upgrade to
the roster of Capitol Records, Interpol returned in 2007
with Our Love to Admire.
