Interpol

In August 2001, Interpol was riding the wave of their debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights,' which had just dropped that same year. This album was a pivotal moment for the band, establishing their signature post-punk revival sound with darkly atmospheric tones and introspective lyrics. The live performance at La Route du Rock showcased their raw energy and tight musicianship, cementing their reputation in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, the festival setting allowed them to reach a broader audience, capturing a moment when they were still relatively new but quickly gaining traction. Fans could feel the electrifying connection between the band and the crowd, which surely contributed to their burgeoning fan base. It's a slice of history that highlights not just their talent, but also their burgeoning influence in the early 2000s music landscape.
