INTERRUPTERS - Say It Out Loud [2LP] Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing includes CD. Say It Out Loud is undeniably fun and urgent in message. And backing their modernized 2-Tone-tinged, guitar-fueled, melody-heavy sound are lyrics that confront everything from social control and self-empowerment to domestic violence and the media circus surrounding the next presidential election. True to The INTERRUPTERS' unabandoned passion and personal-meets-political dynamic, the first song shared from the album is "By My Side," a fist-pumping, tender tribute to outcast solidarity. Since the release of their 2014 self-titled debut, The INTERRUPTERS have split their time between touring with the likes of The English Beat and Bad Religion and cranking out new material that shows off their irrepressible sensibility. So when the time came to record their sophomore album Say It Out Loud, the four-piece hit the studio with Rancid's Tim Armstrong and fired off 14 new songs that both capture their frenetic energy and reveal a whole new level of boldness in their songwriting. "Over the past couple years we got to know ourselves so much better as a band, and that gave us a lot of room to really grow on this album," notes frontwoman Aimee Interrupter, whose bandmates include guitarist Kevin Bivona, bassist Justin Bivona, and drummer Jesse Bivona. Produced by Armstrong and recorded partly at his studio (as well as at Travis Barker's Opra Studios), Say It Out Loud are a batch of feel-good songs proving The INTERRUPTERS' unstoppably upbeat spirit. The INTERRUPTERS have forged a formidable bond that deeply informs their music. "Loyalty, family, friendship, and unity-with upstrokes," says Kevin. "That pretty much sums up The INTERRUPTERS and what we are all about."
