About

Interpol are a New York indie rock band formed in 1997 by vocalist Paul Banks, guitarist Daniel Kessler and drummer Sam Fogarino. Their debut album "Turn on the Bright Lights" (2002) became a landmark of post-punk revival, earning widespread critical acclaim and placing them at the forefront of the early 2000s alternative rock scene. Seven studio albums and countless tours later, the band signed to Partisan Records in 2026 and are releasing their eighth album, "This Mirror Weighs a Ton", on 28 August 2026.
