Interpol, an American rock band formed in 1997, is hailed as one of the principal groups of the early 2000s post-punk revival. With an atmospheric sound defined by a blend of staccato bass and rhythmic guitar melodies, their music often bears a melancholic and introspective edge. The band's nucleus consists of Paul Banks (vocals, guitar), Daniel Kessler (guitar, backing vocals), and Sam Fogarino (drums), who came together in New York City. Carlos Dengler, their original bassist and keyboardist, was with the band until his departure in 2010.

The band's trajectory has seen them grow from underground performers in the Lower East Side club scene to global indie icons. Interpol's turn-of-the-millennium rise was marked by their critically acclaimed debut album "Turn on the Bright Lights" (2002). Over the years, they've maintained their distinct, dark aesthetic while steadily releasing new material and experimenting with their sound, as evident in collaboration-infused reinterpretations on "The Black EP" and their recent studio album "The Other Side Of Make-Believe." With a career spanning two decades, Interpol's work continues to resonate with a loyal fanbase and asserts their standing as enduring fixtures in the contemporary alternative rock landscape.
