Interpol

In October 2002, Interpol was riding the wave of their debut album, "Turn On the Bright Lights," which had been released just a few months earlier, in August of the same year. This album not only catapulted them into the spotlight but also redefined the post-punk revival sound with its atmospheric textures and captivating lyrics. The performance at LOGO in Hamburg showcases their early energy and raw stage presence, as they meld cinematic soundscapes with heartfelt intensity. Interestingly, this live recording captures a pivotal moment when the band was still solidifying their identity, attracting an audience that craved something fresh yet reminiscent of the classics. By this point, they were gaining traction in Europe, and their distinct sound began to influence a whole wave of bands that followed.
