This isn't a resurfaced interview though, the full audio containing the unpublished material was released. I believe the text has been online for about a decade at least though.
Is Robin actually Banksy is no longer even the interesting question. It's why the art world has pretended this is some great mystery for about 20 years now.
There is no one person we can ever point to and say without fail they were at these events on these dates where Robert Del Naja or Damien Albarn performed. But clearly the art world is aware that Del Naja and Albarn are the ones funding the creative operation of Banker, which is why every article will make sure to mention one or the other as a wink but never actually pull on that thread. Pretending there is some great unsolveable mystery is probably the only legitimate money fine arts based media congloms are making. It would be a shame to lose that.
Edit: I apologize for the spelling mistakes.
Of course! Robert Banks! I always thought it was Robert Banks.
Who's Robert Banks?
