[DontrelleRoosevelt]

I feel like this band has saved the ska/punk scene in the modern age!

[MIKERUPTION]

The Interrupters are what you get if Rancid and The Distillers had a baby. Love it!

[ethanfineout]

This 42 year old guy just found himself unexpectedly skanking on his back porch. This is good shit.

[HermanWaldorf]

The first time I heard the Interrupters was with this video❤

[mikeanders]

Holy sh*t, real music still lives. Ska is

[Neville]

I love how ska bands are always smiling and upbeat. One of the best genres of music.

[stevenhaines]

= A Friend Like Me =

I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me
I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me

To all the ones who stand beside me
When times are trying and I run out of money
But if you're with me and not against me
I'll be your lucky penny
My loyalty runs free

I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me
I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me

I will be your liberator
Turn up the fader, yeah we'll drink 'til dawn
And if you ever need a savior
I mean now not later
I tell you I am the one

I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me
I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me


I go into battle, high or low
If you're ever looking for someone
I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me
I know that you won't find a friend
No you won't find a friend like me


= By My Side =

[Verse 1]
You've been there since Queen St. in 1993
Twenty years and a thousand beers and you're still there for me
Whitaker Park park after dark, 'till the cops came spotlighting
And yeah we ran, we were just kids back then
And we're still singin'...
(Yeah!)

[Chorus]
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side

[Verse 2]
Outcasts in a small town, in Big Sky country
You had a pickup truck with the music turned up
"Let's Go!" cassete side B
How we risked our lives playing with knives to escape monotony
After all the stupid things we did our hearts are still beating

[Chorus]
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side


[Guitar Solo]
(Hell yeah)
(We got two of that, baby)
(Right here in L.A.)

[Chorus]
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side
Oy oy!
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die-ie-ie
But if I do die, do die
I know you'll be by my side

[Outro]
I know you'll be by my side
I know you'll be by my side
I know you'll be by my side

The Interrupters live are just amazing live. A must see.

[BellaSaraJiuJitsu]

Incredible performance! I’m 40 years old and I love these guys just as much as my eight year old daughter.

[alexreid]

These guys throw down such a simple yet so utterly punk rock style it doesn't matter that you can smell TIm all over it. It's just nailed. I am a little choked however that I am now destined to be single for eternity because c'mon... As if any human being will ever hold a candle to the punk rock seraphim that is the "often imitated, never duplicated, Aimee... No mercy, just as it should be.

[NatalieWitvoet]

I love watching the INTERRUPTERS perform live! They never disappoint! Hella Mega tour last year, in just a month Aftershock festival! Can’t wait! Sacramento bound!

[WilliamSarokon]

Hey guys, do not ever let Aimee go. She is the voice that makes the band stick out. The band is talented, very talented but it's her voice that really pops out of the speakers. Keep rocking it

[Goombas_musical_experiences]

I saw this band last week in Amsterdam. They are a fantastic live band!
