Interpol

In late 2002, Interpol was on a remarkable trajectory as they had just released their critically acclaimed album, "Turn on the Bright Lights," earlier that year. This debut not only established their distinct post-punk revival sound but also captured a gritty, atmospheric intensity that resonated widely. Their performance of "PDA" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" exemplifies their rising prominence and artistry, showcasing their ability to blend haunting melodies with evocative lyrics. Interestingly, during this time, the band was gaining a reputation for their electrifying live shows, which often left audiences spellbound. This appearance, in particular, marked a significant moment, as it brought their moody and sophisticated sound into the living rooms of a national audience, further solidifying their place in the early 2000s indie music scene.
