Interpol

In August 2001, during the La Route Du Rock festival in Saint-Malo, France, Interpol delivered a gripping performance of "The New." At this point, the band was riding high on the wave of their debut album, "Turn on the Bright Lights," which had been released just a year earlier in 2002, but the buzz around them was already palpable. This live recording exemplifies their post-punk revival sound, marked by atmospheric guitar riffs and brooding vocals that captivated audiences. Interestingly, this era was crucial for Interpol, as they were establishing themselves as one of the leading figures in the early 2000s indie rock movement. Fans often view this performance as a pivotal moment, showcasing not just their musical prowess but also their undeniable stage presence, setting the stage for their future success.
