Interpol — Our Love To Admire

I don't know what it is about Paul Banks' voice. When he sings "I haven't slept for two days/I've bathed in nothing but sweat" on "Rest My Chemistry," I believe him. And that's what makes Interpol such a consistently engaging group. They may not be lyrical wunderkinds and their three records might, on some...

Interpol Finally Change Up The Set List... A Little

If I have one pet peeve with touring bands, it's groups who decide that the best thing is to keep the set list the same at every show. I suppose that way they can hone their parts, find what works best in performance and stick with it. You know, like a play. But there are two problems with this: first, sometimes the band cycle through the same...

Interpol — Antics

Interpol, New York’s snappily-dressed, post-punk heroes, retain their devastatingly visceral assault, but display a new wave sheen that provides a welcomed sense of faith, love and devotion to contrast their blanket of darkness. The band are still having an affair with ‘80s U.K. rock, but there’s a glowing heart of romanticism inside Paul Banks’...

Don't even bother coming up the stairs to ask." The tiny, narrow, low-ceiling, stage-free...

When bassist Carlos D left Interpol, it was looked at as an amicable split. But now singer/guitarist Paul Banks has called him an "a-hole."

Interpol — Interpol

Interpol's self-titled album is the sound of boredom. Complete and total boredom. Not only is Interpol painfully grating to listen to, but it genuinely feels like the band didn't have any fun whatsoever making the disc. The album sounds uninspired, like a band who are absolutely worn out after having been around longer than they should...
