An indie rock band from New York City, whose members are Paul Banks, Carlos Dengler, Sam Fogarino, and Daniel Kessler. In 2004, Shepard worked with the band to create a set of prints for their (at the time) upcoming album, "Antics." The four prints, one of each band member, were sold at "Interpol Space" (see below) for $30 each or $100 for the set, and were limited to 500 of each. All prints were signed and numbered.
It has been noted that Shepard is a very big fan of Interpol. (Site Administrator notes: Check out the band, especially their first album, "Turn on the Bright Lights.")
