Tyler Bailey
He was born in England, but he was raised in America I believe. Daniel was as well.
Logan Cook
I've heard people say that they thought The Killers were English. Brandon Flowers even said that he sounded English because he used to sing along to Morrissey in his car, but I've never heard what they're talking about.
Same with Robert Pollard from Guided by Voices. The guy literally has a lyric where he says 'I've got a fake English accent' but he just sounds American to me.
Although I'm pretty sure that in the song 'Chloe in the Afternoon' by St Vincent she pronounces it 'Ahfternoon' like an English person.
Austin Perez
Married. He met her in a bar, asked her if she wanted to be in a band even though she didn't play an instrument. He took her surname.
Cameron Gray
For Against
Samuel Thomas
Christopher Hernandez
IDK why but Led Zeppelin
Chase Morris
wait what
Jason Powell
No they aren't. Their brand of post-punk is far more similar to the British stuff than the American one. They wouldn't be so goddamn boring if their style was more American.
Luis Green
Honestly thought they were until like last year

Are you retarded?
Austin Wood
What are you guys talking about?! Interpol's the definitive Manchester band. Their singer is pretty much the saint of Manchester at this point, and Interpol are basically the root of what eventually blossomed into Manchester's alt-dance rave scene.
Joshua Foster
you mean reatarded
Joseph Powell
>Interpol are basically the root of what eventually blossomed into Manchester's alt-dance rave scene.
You mean The Happy Mondays.
Wyatt Bell
Turns out they're Welsh
Alexander Gonzalez
You don't know anything about New York. Interpol is what it's like feeling alienated in an urban landscape at night. It fits for Manhattan, sure, but it fits just as well for London, Tokyo, or any other gigantic city.
The bands that really capture New York's flavor are groups like the The Dictators or Ambulance LTD
Aaron Nguyen
TVU and sonic youth are literally new york: the band
Ryan Smith
>tfw I always thought that Motorhead were Americans
Evan Ramirez
Happy Mondays would've never happened without Interpol applying a house/EDM beat to post-punk. They were the originals.
Jordan Gutierrez
holy shit I only found out because of your post
Thomas Nguyen
brian jonestown massacre
Liam Sullivan
Crystal Castles
Probably because they're so ugly and dirty looking.
Robert Myers
It's actually pretty in the middle. TOTBL basically sounded like Ian Curtis singing for Television.
Jack Garcia
The music of Interpol sounds more like The Chameleons than anything else, at least in my opinion
Cooper Baker
I was blown away when I found out they were Irish
