New York City based rock band Interpol is one of the bands that emerged from the post-punk revival of the 2000s. Interpol's sound draws upon punk influences such as Joy Division and The Smiths, while mixing contemporary rock elements to create a well rounded and critically acclaimed sound. Interpol immediately touched upon success with their first album, Turn on the Bright Lights, and even though the band has had a rocky career, they are well on their way to releasing a fifth studio album.
