A Look At The Interrupters’ Gig At New York’s Pier 17 With Flogging Molly, Tiger Army & The Skints
Last month, Los Angeles band The Interrupters released the hard-hitting new song “Jailbird.” Documenting lead vocalist Aimee Interrupter’s personal battle with mental health, the anthemic single marked the group’s third release pulled from their forthcoming 14-track record, In The Wild, which is due for release via Hellcat/Epitaph Records on August 5, 2022. Per Aimee: “This song is about feeling like a prisoner in my own mind. I’ve dealt with a lifetime of severe anxiety, insomnia, depression, PTSD, trichotillomania, and panic attacks. This song is about how cycles can repeat. Thankfully, screaming these lyrics at the top of my lungs brings relief from the very hell I am singing about.”
In 2021, The Interrupters supported Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy on the Hella Mega Tour, one of the biggest rock tours of the year. Currently, in advance of In The Wild hitting stores, The Interrupters — comprised of Aimee Interrupter, partner and guitarist Kevin Bivona, and his younger twin brothers, drummer Jesse and bassist Justin — are on the road alongside Flogging Molly on a massive co-headlining tour. The tour also includes Tiger Army and The Skints on the bill.
Embedded below are some videos filmed by yours truly at New York City’s Rooftop At Pier 17 showing why The Interrupters are one of the best live bands I have experienced in recent years. More on The Interrupters and the In The Wild album can be found online by clicking here, here and here.
