JOY DIVISON! You can't possibly like Interpol (oh yeah and catch them live if you can) without liking their masters...Theres a great new band called Editors who are in the whole indie goth/new wave feel of things. Echo And The Bunnymen, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are more you should like if you don't already...Im sure theres plenty more, but these would be the biggest of them...Happy (or, in this case, depressing) listening!

The tightest, most under - rated indie/goth band ever(seriously) BAUHAUS.
Hi Indie Bar Kid (just noticed) Joy Division - you have taste man !!

Why thank you....Not bad considering my mother is an avid Neil Diamond fan, and my father, well, Neil Diamond...Yeah Bauhaus are great probably the first band of their like. More I just thought of: Bloc Party, some of their darkest stuff rivals Interpol, or some non-poppy Cure, The Fall, The Mission, The Damned,The Jesus And Mary Chain and Sisters Of Mercy are all great 80s bands that Interpol fans should like...

Jeez...I should really start wearing black and being "individual"....

Ha Ha, nowt wrong with Neil Diamond mate (see my post in General 'best song to sing when your drunk).
Always thought The Jesus And Mary Chain used to sound like The Sisters Of Mercy tuning up.

Hmmm.... Yeah but The Chain have a much much better name which is what really counts, obviously....Best named Indie Goth band though: The The. Genius.

Bauhaus.

But, people who like Interpol will also like JAMC? You guys sure about that?
