I'm a pretty big fan of The Interrupters. I've been to a couple of their shows and I know how much fun they can be. And I'm a sucker for ska revival tunes. The Interrupters just get my heart and soul in gear for moving. The Interrupters' vibe is pure positivity, fun and love.
The band is out on a co-headlining tour with Frank Turner and were performing a sold out show at Toronto's History last night. What an insanely high energy and fun tour with two amazing and life-affirming artists! My pics from Frank's set are here and my pics of Chuck Ragan's opening set are here.
The Interrupters' set featured tunes from their latest album In the Wild, like the title track, and personal favourites like "Take the Power Back", "Title Holder", "She Got Arrested", "Gave You Everything" and "She's Kerosene". The energy level was through the roof and this band connects with their fans, especially their young fans, as few bands can. It's very cool to witness.
I've covered The Interrupters for their past couple of stops in Toronto. There was the show at Rebel in late 2019 and at The Danforth Music Hall earlier in 2019.
Here's an Interrupters track from their latest album In the Wild.
"Sorrow"
