Behind The Beats: With German Perez

Interpol stood out amongst the bands coming out of New York City in the early 2000s. They were going left while everyone else was going straight. The sounds made you feel something special and the beats...Well the beats sounded open, with groove flowing through them and when the time was right, straight ahead. Sam Fogarino knows how to be original without reinventing the wheel. After writing drums on the classic "Turn on the Bright Lights" Sam and Interpol have been on my radar as a special group and hold a special place in my memory and in my heart for a thousand reasons.
