Interpol

At the time of their performance at Riot Fest in September 2018, Interpol had recently released their album "Marauder," just a month prior. This album marked their return to the spotlight after a four-year hiatus, showcasing a refined sound while exploring themes of disillusionment and urban isolation, which has always been a hallmark of their artistry. During this live set, where they electrified the crowd in Douglas Park, the band delivered "Mammoth," a track that encapsulates their signature post-punk revival style, blending atmospheric instrumentals with Paul Banks’ distinctive vocals. An interesting tidbit? Each track in "Marauder" was dedicated to a different song that inspired the band while they were crafting the album, showcasing their deep connections to musical influences. This concert not only highlighted their evolution but also reestablished their presence in the indie rock scene.
