The band released their debut work, Fukd ID No. Kessler met bassist Carlos Dengler in their philosophy class at New York University and later met Paul Banks who became the band’s frontman, finalizing the band’s earliest line-up. Interpol was formed by guitarist Daniel Kessler and drummer Greg Drudy in 1997. One of the key players in the revival of indie and alternative rock during the early 2000s, Interpol remains one of the truly great rock bands, drawing inspiration from Television and Joy Division which extended the arms of the post-punk revival. Modest Mouse continued to define the indie rock genre throughout the 2000s and 2010s and continue to explore their limits within the genre, releasing their newest album in June 2021, The Golden Casket. Referred to as “the best Modest Mouse album yet” by The New York Times, the album was critically acclaimed upon its release and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2005.
Performing mostly at DIY punk venues across Washington, Modest Mouse gained larger recognition in 2000 with the release of their third studio album, The Moon & Antarctica, which was critically acclaimed with NME referring to it as “one of the greatest records ever made.” They became a major commercial success in 2004 with the release of their fourth studio album, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which sold over 1.5 million copies in the US and was certified platinum by the end of the year.
The band released their first recordings in 1994 on their debut EP, Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect? Under K Records. Perhaps one of the more underrated indie rock bands of their era, Modest Mouse was formed in 1992 by teen Isaac Brock when he met bassist Eric Judy at his local video store and drummer Jeremiah Green at a heavy metal show, deciding that they would form a band together.
