Interpol

During the summer of 2008, Interpol was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "Our Love to Admire," which had been released a year prior. This album marked a significant step for the band, showcasing a more expansive sound while still holding onto their signature post-punk style. The live performance of "Obstacle 1" at the Pemberton Festival during its inaugural night highlighted their energetic stage presence and captured the essence of what made them a staple in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, this event took place just as the band was gaining traction internationally, solidifying their fan base as they continued to build momentum before releasing their next album, "Interpol," in 2010. This moment in 2008 was pivotal, as it not only showcased their artistic evolution but also emphasized their role as one of the defining bands of the early 2000s revival.
