Yeah! I hear that. I was going to comment that I really don't like this very much, but with Bert fronting the band in my head, it's a lot more fun.

Try to get a hold of a live track...all those lines and booze must have done something to his vocal chords. The albums are great though.

That being said I like Interpol, the Smiths and New Order. I havent heard much JD but if I did I would probably like it. The peppy loud rock works for me.

Now I'll chime in with my comparison:
the singer sounds very Jello Biafra-ish to me. Also a bit like the guy from the B52s.

The singing style is kinda reminiscent of Jello Biafra in the Dead Kennedys. Anyone else hear that?

Second the request for Joy Division.
there's so much "joy division" than you suppose in interpol (but surely much much more in "the editors")... anyway I agree....more joy division on radio paradise!!! |

Sounds an awful lot like Joy Division/New Order; not one of the best of that succession, either. Not bad, though. I like the atonal singing, and the rhythm's not bad, too.

Ok, the Ian Curtis comparisons I sort of get...especially the first time you hear Interpol. But Morrissey....?
No, not really. |
