Interpol band

Interpol is a New York City band formed in 1998. Their debut album, entitled Turn on the Bright Lights, was highly successful. Band members include Paul Banks on vocals and guitar, Carlos Dengler on bass and keyboards, Sam Fogarino on drums, and Daniel Kessler on guitar and background vocals.

The band formed when Daniel Kessler met with Greg, a drummer, on the New York University campus. Kessler later added Carlos D., an ex-guitar player, on the bass, after meeting him in a history class. The line-up was complete after Kessler remembered an old friend he met whilst in Paris. After losing touch since Paris, Banks and Kessler ran into each other on the street. Banks then became lead singer. In 2000, Greg left the band. Kessler approached Fogarino who he knew while working for a record company and Fogarino was working at Beacon's Closet.

The name "Interpol" comes from a past experience of Banks, when a schoolmate called him "Paul, Paul, Interpol."

Other than the songs released on their debut album, they have composed songs such as "Specialist", "Song Seven", "A Time to be so Small", "Interlude", "Precipitate", and "5".

The bands debut album Turn On The Bright Lights was releases in August 2002 and was followed two years later by Antics in September 2004.
