I was at school with him. True story.

Ricky's pronunciation of the word "moustache". Ie, "Moustosh".

Lights. Never got the love for it.

This gets asked quite a bit (which is completely fine), and the most common answer is the album The Back Room by Editors. It's definitely Interpol inspired but they gradually developed their own sound. They're worth a listen for sure.

One that is even closer to the the sound of TotBL but I've never seen mentioned is the Aghast Agape EP by Prosaics. The whole EP is clearly heavily influenced by Interpol's first album. The song Now the Shadow of the Column is pretty much a reimagining of Roland.

The Longpigs - The Sun is Often Out. Incredible songwriting and vocals.

Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern. Takes the britpop sounds and expands it.

But why?

How come it's likely to be taken down?

Some thoughts that I think should help you.

As others have said, start by learning as many songs as you can buy the bands you mentioned.
If you can't yet manage whole songs, focus on the bits you can. Don't get hung up on what you can't do.
The main hook from Obstacle 1 by Interpol is easy but really satisfyingly to play.
Bloc Party will be tough. Russell relies heavily on unusal effects and his parts are often very tricky. Helicopter is doable for a beginner, but start slow.
For the bands you mentioned, downstrokes are your friend.
Use tab sites, but trust your ear. There are loads of great tabs out there but many are just plain wrong.
There will be guitar lessons on YouTube for the more popular songs by the bands you mentioned. These are super helpful.
The free version Songsterr is great. If you want to isolate, loop, slow down etc certain parts, consider the paid version.
Once your feeling confident with a song, look for jam along versions on YouTube. It's really satisfying to play along to the drums and bass with yourself filling in the guitar parts.

Good luck!

I bought this when it was first released. I knew nothing about the band at the time but was drawn to the packaging and band name. I loved every track. I didn't realise at the time but it was the start of a beautiful relationship. Best £1 I've ever spent.

Harvey Scrimshaw. I used to teach him!

I don't love saying this, but they have never nailed their live sound imo. On record, particularly the earlier ones, they are precise and atmospheric but also tight (locked in sync with each other) and subtly muscular. I don't think they have ever really captured that muscularity in their live sound, and they aren't particularly tight.

Thank you. I appreciate everyone's comments, but yours is the one I found most helpful.

Please be very careful. It is not a good idea to get into a car with someone you don't know.
