Very Katatonia-esque band, but they're on a Major Label!

Download the following track by Interpol from Soulseek or Kazaa:

Interpol - P.D.A.

It's an AMAZING song (probably my favourite of 2002), and I'll eat my shoe if someone tells me that the guitars aren't in the exact same riffing style (4/4 time rhythms) that Anders (well, Mackintosh) pioneered.

What's interesting is that the Interpol album was released last year. They became the "it" band in the New York underground.

Great band in any case.

This is a really cool band, but I hardly believe they were influenced by katatonia (although I can see slight similarities) I think they both draw inspiration from similar sources (slowdive and other shoegazer bands)

I never said that Interpol were influenced by Katatonia. I just said that the guitar riffing styles are very similar.

Isn´t that a bit harsh... I think they are fantastic... If you like Katatonia you should like them... maybe you should give them another chance

 

[Incendiare]

Interpol? I listened to them a couple months ago...sorry, but nothing compared to Katatonia.

 

[Moonshadow]

Yeah, you´re right, guitars are similar , but the voice, sounds like "Michael Stipe-light"...
By the way, listen to The Wounded´s "Monument", you probably like it...

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

theres a band called Procession of Mourning, they sound a lot like Katatonia, actually at some points they almost become a clone band

 

[Kains D]

Interpol sounds so fucking much like Joy Division...

 

[Mayh]

Interpol sounds so fucking much like Joy Division...

And thats a fucking plus!

 

[graveflower]

Interpol is like Joy Division minus everything that made Joy Division good.

 

[Black_paragon]
