Interpol began in New York in 1997, when guitarist Daniel Kessler recruited bassist Carlos Dengler and singer/guitarist Paul Banks to form a band.

In 2002, with Sam Fogarino on drums, the band signed to Matador records and released Turn On The Bright Lights, which made it to the 10th position on NME’s list of 2002’s top releases and was named the year’s #1 album by Pitchfork.

Over the next decade and a half, Interpol would go on to achieve wide critical and commercial acclaim, with five subsequent high charting records on the Billboard 200; earning rave reviews across the map from Rolling Stone to TIME; performing on late night television shows including The Late Show with David Letterman and Conan and playing major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury and Mexico’s Corona Capital
