Title:
Interpol - Interview with Paul Banks (plus translation)

Description:
Translation (I hope you can understand everything!! Feel free to correct it!!): "The introduction time is over, the second album was very important and during the making of the third one we didn't think too much about the outside world and the audience, it was only about us." "We're very comfortable with our own roles, we're musicians and we do what we're inspired to do, we're on a second phase, it's not more relaxed but it's more professional. We're very confident in our music and we don't worry about the success of the album, it's not very important to me, I just hope our fans like it. This album was something personal, we're on another stage, we're more experienced in a composition level, also in recording, promotion, touring..." "Nyc is a fast and intense city and its energy affects our personalities and our music. If we get to the studio with anxiety after a stressed day in the city it results in a faster and more changeable writing/composing." "The most important aspect in the band is respect, there are strong egos in the band and too much contradictory creative energy also, we argue a lot." "I always was interested in music and I started playing at 14. When I was 15 i decided to make music my life, Nirvana inspired me to do it." "The guitar is very important to me, I always write the lyrics after writing my guitar parts. Not many people talk about that. There's no rythm guitar, Daniel and I do lead and rythm, exchanging roles. To me, we're a guitar rock band."
