Interpol signs with Capitol, not Interscope

PITCHFORK (MARCH 30, 2006)
So, Sam, is it true: have Interpol signed to Interscope?

“Blatant rumor,” Fogarino (Interpol’s drummer) said. With Interpol’s contract with Matador “officially up”, the band do plan to shop around their latest wares when the time is right. They’ve begun writing the follow-up to Antics, and Fogarino reports that the process is “moving right along where I think it should…we’re all pretty much on fire about it”. For now, however, the major-label-leap rumors milling about are just that, and Sam playfully entreats aspiring gossip-mongers to invent some of their own. [Pitchfork]

“A while back I posted that I heard that Interpol had signed with Interscope. (Must have been the allure of the Inter- prefix.) It didn’t happen. Today Hits reported that Interpol signed with Capitol, the home of Coldplay, Chingy, current buzz girl Corrine Bailey Rae and The Decemberists.” [Coolfer]
