Interpol

In August 2001, Interpol was riding high on the wave of their breakout debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights,' which had been released just a year earlier. This live recording at La Route Du Rock showcases a band that was beginning to carve out its signature sound—dark, moody, and rhythmic—capturing the attention of a burgeoning fan base. Interestingly, 'PDA,' one of the standout tracks, has become a fan favorite, encapsulating the very essence of their post-punk revival style. The band's performance at this festival not only highlights their energetic stage presence but also signifies an essential moment before they truly became a household name. By blending atmospheric melodies with introspective lyrics, Interpol was well on their way to solidifying their place in the indie rock scene.
