Coolfer says yes.
Coolfer has it on good authority that Interpol has signed with Interscope Records, the home of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, All-American Rejects and TV on the Radio. OK, indie purists, start the debate. Not much of a debate as Coolfer sees it. Interpol is an established band that needs to move up. Period. (full story)
Also of interesting note is someone from Matador Records defending their label when someone in the comments says they haven’t had much success lately. (yet the rep doesnt respond to the rumor…)
It’s not ever been Matador’s way to comment on artist relations until official announcements are made, but they’re forthcoming with just about every other bit of information you can imagine. Patrick’s a great guy too.
