Fun Stuff > BAND

Joy Division and Interpol ("Gasp, not again," you exclaim.)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Coonstar:
Yeah, the Echo and the Bunnymen thing in Interpol pretty much just stops at the guitar work. Man imagine Interpol with McCulloch's singing style.

Praeserpium Machinarum:

and so on all the way back to those awful guys who banged rocks together.

Man! what a bunch of ripoffs!

Thrillho:
Interpol are more melodic by sheer comparison, because melody in Joy Division was all but nonexistent.

I think there are other minor similarities; the chiming, interweaving quality of the bass and guitars, and the spacious, breathy production style.

GuitarJunkie:
I can see some similarities but shit, if you want to hear a band that really try hard to sound like Joy Division, try listening to The Editors.

Merkava:
Interpol maybe has the aesthetic, but they are very, very different than JD. On TOTBL, they were explosive, lush, and emotional. JD conveyed emotion, but they were more minimalist; they focused on creating a rough, harsh sound. When I listen to both bands, they seem like they're trying to evoke a similar reaction from the listener, but are going about it in different ways.

JD and Interpol, to me, are like two sides of a coin.
