Earlier this month Noisey filmed a behind the scenes documentary with Paul Banks, ahead of his first show under his own name, having ditched his Julian Plenti moniker for his side project from Interpol. 

Interviewed at rehearsals, FYF fest and his first show in LA, it sees Paul at his most open and honest about his hopes, fears and intentions for this new project, his second solo album.
