The Interrupters team with 2 Tone legend Rhoda Dakar & Tim Armstrong on new song (listen)

When The Interrupters announced their upcoming fourth album In The Wild, they revealed that it has a handful of exciting guests, including frequent collaborator Tim Armstrong of Rancid, 2 Tone legend Rhoda Dakar of The Bodysnatchers and The Special AKA, third wave ska legends Hepcat, and modern-day UK punky reggae greats The Skints. Two of those guests — Tim Armstrong and Rhoda Dakar — are on the same song, “As We Live,” and that song is out today.

“Love is the fuel for everything beautiful in the world,” Aimee Interrupter says of the song. “Love should be approached with urgency and that’s what we are trying to capture with this song. It is truly humbling to have musical legends, Tim Armstrong and Rhoda Dakar co-writing and singing this one with us.” This one’s a darker, minor-key song, and it finds The Interrupters really leaning into their 2 Tone and Jamaican ska influences, complete with a vintage-style horn solo and Caribbean-style drum breaks. Check it out below.

The Interrupters are also playing Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday (7/21), and they’re touring Europe/the UK in August/early September before resuming their co-headlining US tour with Flogging Molly, which features support from Tiger Army and The Skints. All dates are listed below.
