If the lead singer of Interpol were to hang himself and the rest of the band were to go on and form a new band without him, what would they sound like?

Don't mean to start another Interpol thread, but the question came in my head and if I didn't write it, well my eye-balls would've shot out blood.

I think that this is a fine question that requires a deep and serious zzzz *snores*

Franz Ferdinand.

Spymob. I would hope.

less like the tragically hip than they already do

I suppose the obvious punchline is 'New Order'

do interpol even have synths?

they'd be a freestyle ska goth band.

Something for art students at art schools where you don't need much talent

What if the band members of Interpol totally lezzed up with each other and decided to out themselves and restart as a new band, what would they sound like?

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 10 April 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

PANSEY DIVISIN !!!ROTLTLM!!!!OMG

― dean! (deangulberry), Saturday, 10 April 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Couldn't be too far off from a less happy Strokes.

Haters.

Interpol minus the vocals. Just music.
Possibly better, possibly worse.

OTM. When JD became NO it set forth a change in styles and approach which continued throughout the decade. Look at the difference between Closer and Confusion in only 3 years. Interpol wouldn't take such a risk in changing their sound if you gave them a lifetime to try it.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Monday, 3 October 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

they would play "transmission"

― retroman, Monday, 3 October 2005 10:10 (twenty years ago)

I still say, between Isolation and As You Said or whatever the secret track on the Komokino flexi is, that people underestimate the possibility that Joy Division may have likely headed in similar electronic dance directions.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 3 October 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

Having listened to "Isolation" this am, I'm inclined to agree...

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Monday, 3 October 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

Answer = Elefant (if Carlos won) or a shoutier Ride (if guitar player won).

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 3 October 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

INXS

Either that or The All Brand New Brand New Heavies

― PappaWheelie B.C., Monday, 3 October 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)
