Interpol - Precipitate EP

An EP by the American Indie/Post-punk revival band Interpol, released in 2001. Incase you didn't know of them, Interpol are a New York based indie band formed in 1997 by a bunch of students at New York University, infact all the original members attend NYU, the band went under the names Las Armas and The French Letter before settling for Interpol, which was taken from vocalist Paul Banks being teased in school, students would say "Paul Paul Interpol" in a spanish accent. Anyways the band ended up achieving noticeable success in the UK and US by the mid-2000's and now, if you ask me, their the only Post-punk revival band achieving any mainstream recognition, most of the other mainstream revival bands, such as Bloc Party, Foals and Franz Ferdinand, have changed their direction to the new Alternative Dance scene's, noticeably in Britain.

Anyways

1. Precipitate
2. Song Seven
