Interpol: Antics
Interpol at Brooklyn Steel with Three Nights of ANTICS
Interpol’s three sold-out nights at Brooklyn Steel were a masterclass in why their sound endures. With their iconic sophomore album ANTICS front and center, the band delivered a set that wasn’t about nostalgia but about power, precision, and timelessness. Tracks like “Evil” and “Slow Hands” hit with the same raw force as ever, while deeper cuts like “Not Even Jail” showcased the depth that makes ANTICS a cornerstone of their post-punk sound. Despite drummer Sam Fogarino’s absence due to spinal surgery, Chris Broome stepped in without missing a beat, proving the band’s resilience and unwavering energy. Audiences are eager to see Sam back soon, but these performances showed no cracks—just a band pushing their limits while honoring a landmark album. Twenty years on, ANTICS still feels alive, and Interpol’s trajectory is anything but static.
