A band that formed in the early noughties, yet have still managed to carve out an important niche for the brand of melancholic rock, arena fillers. Borne out of the void left by the likes of The Strokes and influenced by the likes of Joy Division, Interpol have a large cult following in both the US and UK markets.
Having five diverse and eclectic releases in their back catalogue, not to mention 2007’s breakthrough, ‘Our Love To Admire,’ Interpol have certainly earned the right to take things at their own pace. Their sixth studio album has been two years in the making, but drummer Sam Fogarino insists, ‘fist in the air, arena rock ballads’ are to follow.
