THE INTERRUPTERS
http://wearetheinterrupters.com/

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 L.A.-based ska-punk four-piece hit the studio with Rancids 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.

Undeniably fun but urgent in message, Say It Out Loud finds The Interrupters backing their 2-Tone-tinged, guitar-fueled yet melody-heavy sound with lyrics that confront everything from social control and self-empowerment to domestic violence and the media circus surrounding the next presidential election. 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 Barkers Opra Studios), Say It Out Loud achieved its vital feel thanks to what Kevin describes as a totally organic, GMO-free process that relied on raw live performance. True to The Interrupters unabandoned passion and personal-meets-political dynamic, the album kicks off with By My Side, a fist-pumping but tender tribute to outcast solidarity (sample lyric: After all the stupid things we did/Our hearts are still beating). The band keeps it intimate and openhearted on songs like On a Turntable, whose snarling guitar riffs and growling vocals pay homage to the life-saving power of music. On a Turntable is partly about how whether things are good or bad in your life, theres always a song for what youre going through, Kevin points out. Meanwhile, on tracks like She Got Arrested (a gritty look at the impact of domestic abuse) and Jenny Drinks (a painfully detailed glimpse into the realities of addiction), The Interrupters shift perspective and bring some unforgettably poignant storytelling to their songwriting.

Throughout Say It Out Loud, The Interrupters also embed fiery social commentary into their lyrics, with Babylon calling on the people to conquer the system of control and Media Sensation tearing apart media-controlled narratives. Another fierce meditation on media responsibility, Phantom City has Armstrong lending his vocals to a darkly charged take on todays constantly-plugged-in culture. And rounding out Say It Out Loud are a batch of feel-good songs proving The Interrupters unstoppably upbeat spirit, from The Prosecutor (a song about good conquering evil, according to Aimee) to The Valley (a bouncing ode to the bands homeland) to Youre Gonna Find a Way Out (a rowdy anthem inspired by The Specials A Message to You, Rudy and featuring Less Than Jakes Chris DeMakes, Roger Lima, Peter JR Wasilewski, and Buddy Schaub).

Forming The Interrupters in 2012, Aimee and the Bivonas first crossed paths when the brothers former band Telacasters shared bills with her on a summer 2009 tour. Through the yearsin which theyve hit the road with bands like Rancid and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, in addition to taking the stage at such festivals as Its Not Dead and SoundwaveThe Interrupters have forged a formidable bond that deeply informs their music. Loyalty, family, friendship, and unitywith upstrokes, says Kevin. That pretty much sums up The Interrupters and what we are all about.


BAD COP / BAD COP
http://www.badcopbadcopband.com

Shove your labels / well flip your tables / and we wont apologize / for causing a scene.  Bad Cop/Bad Cop, My Life

The lyric above is essentially a mission statement for Bad Cop/Bad Cop, who prove that the best way to battle sexist stereotypes about women in bands is to play well, and to play hard.

With catchy hooks, three part harmonies, and a drummer who fires her guns harder than most of her male compatriots, Bad Cop/Bad Cop bring to mind the 90s heyday of chicks who actually rocked, from the snarl of The Distillers and synchronized vocals of Dance Hall Crashers to the guitar prowess of The Muffs and wry lyrics of Lunachicks.

All hailing from different parts of the U.S., the foursome met in Los Angeles while playing in bands like Compton SF, The Radio Sweetheart, The DMaggs, The City, Angry Amputees, and Cunt Sparrer. Eventually realizing that their combined talents and influences would be greater than the sum of their parts, they launched the band in 2011 and quickly became the big sisters of the DIY punk scene, about which Jennie says We have been so lucky to participate in such a supportive, inclusive, and active scene [;;;with];;; great people working together and encouraging each other.

After playing at the Lilith Bear party during San Francisco Bear Pride 2013, they were supported and encouraged by an unlikely audience member: NOFXs Fat Mike.

After our set, Mike approached and said he liked all the songs and decided then that he was going to do something with our band. I almost crapped myself, and the rest is history, says Dee

With a self-released 7 in 2013, the Boss Lady EP released on Fat Wreck Chords made its way onto numerous top 10 lists in 2014. Bad Cop/Bad Cop are looking forward to the release of their first full-length album, produced by Fat Mike, out on Fat Wreck Chords 2015.
