The Profile

Interpol is an American rock band formed in New York City, widely associated with the early-2000s post-punk revival. Their 2002 debut album “Turn On the Bright Lights” is commonly regarded as their signature release.

Publicly verifiable: Interpol formed in New York City in 1997. Core members include Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler, and Sam Fogarino; former bassist Carlos Dengler departed in 2010. The band’s debut album “Turn On the Bright Lights” was released in 2002.

Across 16 DeBaser reviews, Interpol are framed as a defining New York post‑punk revival band whose debut “Turn On the Bright Lights” is repeatedly called a masterpiece. “Antics” is mostly praised (sometimes as their best), while “Our Love to Admire” is seen as a successful, more complex third step. The 2010 self-titled is heavily criticized by one reviewer, whereas “El Pintor” is widely treated as a return to roots after lineup changes. “Marauder” is viewed as a strong late-era record, helped by Dave Fridmann’s analog, rawer production.
