The Interrupters

Okay it's time for an official thread. This band fucking rules. Easily my favorite new punk band of this decade.... one of those bands that every song of theirs im like, "yeah this rules".


and yeah fuck heres' a new video

 

The new album is a banger, this band is fucking great! Discovered them because they supported Green Day in Europe. Great live peformance and I agree, nearly every song is awesome. I highly recommend checking out the song on the new record that features Rancid (all three vocalists!).

 

Saw them open for Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake a couple years ago and they put on a fun set!

 

Like the album - but kinda turned off when I found out the lead singer was on the Alex Jones show back in 2008. 4th hit for her on a search is a Storm Front article as well about that appearance.

Pretty interesting read here too, along with a response from one of the band members

The Duff Guide to Ska: Know Your Product: The Interrupters

 

If you read the response of the band member you'll realize that Aimee's beliefs have changed a lot. I'm certain she doesn't have the same beliefs she had more than 10 years ago, otherwise I'd really doubt they'd be such great friends with Green Day who gave them a platform to perform their songs (and the messages within) in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

 

holy fucking shit. this album is fucking amazing!!!!! wow!

 

Album has floored me. It's mad

 

Performance from Kimmel the other night - cool to see some ska on a mainstream show again!

 

Their newest album is fucking good. Im just now getting around to listening to it. SO FUN.

 

"She's Kerosene" is possibly one of the best ska songs ever, and definitely the best ska song of the 2010s (though there's not much competition there).

 

Agreed.

 

Got my tix to see them headline here in San Diego

 

So...in light of the previous Alex Jones/Stormfront stuff with Aimee from long ago.

Look at the lyrics from "Outrage":

A house of cards, about to fall
Where they go one, they go all
People are hurting, they feel the burden
They get from learning whats behind the curtain
They put a mask on to speak their minds
They need a veil to hide behind

That's goddamn QAnon stuff. The bold line is a take on their slogan!

Tell me I'm wrong about this. Please tell me they aren't into that cult. I love this band's music so much, but I can't give them money if they're truly this far off the wagon.

 

QAnon is probably even more recent than their last album right?
Shit is infuriatingly stupid

 

I liked their last album, but really do love the latest

 

So is there anything substantial to this in the last couple of years? I saw on instagram that she mostly follows progressive politicians and didn't pick up on any weird Q stuff on there based on a quick skim-through

 

There better goddamn not be because I'm about to give them a bunch of money a week from tonight at a show. But if I see any Q/white people hand signs, we're burning the Varsity to the ground.

 

I was thinking of going to that show haha

 

Don't think so. I mean she just recently posted about recording with Tom Morello. Don't think he would records with someone who didn't share his world views. or that anyone on the right would actually record with him for that matter...

 

Masked Intruder is the opener and their new record is ACES. I can't wait for it. Last show I went there for was the Menzingers and they tore the roof off.

 

Pretty cool cover.

 

They crushed that. So good.

 

Can not be more excited. What a tour
