Interpol

Interpol defined the sound of the New York post-punk revival: "Turn On the Bright Lights" (2002) remains an absolute classic of the 2000s, with chiming guitars, melodic bass, and Paul Banks' dark baritone — "Obstacle 1," "Evil," "Slow Hands." Dark suits and icy elegance: the band has crossed two decades keeping its aura intact, particularly in France where it is revered. Their Paris concerts, dense and tense, always draw full houses.
