Interpol

As a counterbalance to the glossed up, giddy hedonism of The Strokes in the early zeroes, Interpol paint a gloomier– but no less romantic – picture down East with the legendary 'Turn On The Bright Lights'. The band's brooding post-punk anthems illustrate the comedowns, the aftermaths and the heartbreaks within the shadowy seams of metropolitan nightlife. Up till today, Interpol have maintained their undeniable mystique, while expanding their craft to new dramatic heights.
