Interpol began in New York in 1997, when guitarist Daniel Kessler recruited bassist Carlos Dengler and singer/guitarist Paul Banks to form a band. In 2002, with Sam Fogarino on drums, the band signed to Matador records and released which made it to 10th position on NME's list of 2002's top releases and Pitchfork named it the year's #1 album. Over the next decade and a half Interpol would go on to wide critical and commercial acclaim, with five subsequent high charting records on the Billboard 200; earning rave reviews across the map from Rolling Stone to TIME; performing on late night television shows including The Late Show with David Letterman and Conan and playing major festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury and headlining Mexico's Corona Capital.
