Interpol are a New York outfit with a distinctive take on the post-punk sound. Frequent comparisons to Joy Division don't really do the band justice; there are vocal similarities but the music is quite different. Interpol make dark, bass-heavy music, with a clever use of tension. They like to use the choppy guitar riffs often associated with New York indie (pioneered back in the ‘60s by the Velvet Underground), but with a Teutonic edge. Interpol released their first album Turn on the Bright Lights in 2002 to wide critical acclaim. Antics, their second album came in 2004, showing a purer distillation of the Interpol sound and a stronger vocal performance from Essex-born Paul Banks. Antics achieved both critical and commercial success for the band. Interpol's third album is due out in July 2007, to be called Our Love to Admire. Listen to Leif Erikson from Turn on the Bright Lights and Slow Hands from Antics. Download (right click, 'save as')
