Fashionista and professional cymbal-smasher Sam Fogarino shares stories from the early days of Interpol in early 2000's NYC, breaks down the uniquely post-lockdown creative process they developed while recording their new album The Other Side of Make-Believe (out July 15th), and opens up about navigating a brain aneurysm after a successful world tour in support of Marauder (2018).
Henri Boulanger, Sam and I get into classic motorcycles, Sam's self-described 'mechanical dyslexia', and the upsides of moving from vintage bikes to something a bit more modern. He's come a long way from West Philadelphia and it's all thanks to a leap of faith and a fateful audition.
The band’s 2022 world tour begins in Texas April 25.
