Interpol - London Rough Trade East - 30th August 2018

Interpol played a nine song set to a packed Rough Trade East to celebrate the release of their sixth LP, Marauder. Andy Keating of Manchester's Ist Ist went to see them in a venue which was smaller than the kind they were playing over 15 years ago when they exploded into the public consciousness with their seminal debut, Turn On The Bright Lights.

Interpol - Manchester Albert Hall - 3rd September 2017

It's fifteen years since Interpol released their debut album Turn On The Bright Lights and, in what seems like is becoming the norm rather than a one-off for bands of that generation, they're touring to celebrate the album by playing it in full. For once though, this felt like something more than a tired easy win for the band as they brought it back to life and made it sound as fresh as the day it was released.
