Album Review: The Interrupters - Say It Out Loud

"Sharp ditties come flying out of the barrel."

After riding the success of their stellar self-titled debut in 2014, LA misfits The Interrupters return with a second album that packs equal punch using their tried and true ska-flavoured punk rock.

The short and sharp ditties come flying out of the barrel from opener By My Side and they don't let up, with On A Turntable, Control and Divide Us fuelling the energy with punchy lines and Aimee Allen's ballsy pout. It's non-stop high energy fun, which also renders the album a bit ho hum by the end. A slight deviation structure-wise to break up the frenetic energy might have helped bring things into relief but the off-beat cheek throughout is pretty irresistible.
