Interpol

In August 2017, Interpol performed 'Hands Away' at the renowned La Route du Rock festival in Saint-Malo, France, a pivotal moment during their career. Leading up to this performance, the band had released their fifth studio album, 'El Pintor,' three years prior in 2014. This album marked their return after a four-year hiatus and feature a fresh yet distinctly Interpol sound, showcasing the band’s evolution while still paying homage to their post-punk roots. Interestingly, the live performance captured a band at a mature phase, rediscovering their musical prowess while blending nostalgia with new energy. Fans would recognize 'Hands Away' as a classic from their debut album, 'Turn on the Bright Lights,' tying together their early sound with their current lineup, which included original members Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler, and Sam Fogarino. It's a testament to the band's lasting impact on the indie rock scene and their ability to engage audiences across different eras.
