The Interrupters have dropped another taste of their forthcoming album ‘In The Wild’, generating a rumbling and anthemic soundscape in new single ‘Anything Was Better’.In ‘Anything Was Better’, the heavy step of the bass guitar holds up spitting vocals, brash with both disdain and resolution.
The song’s narrative is clear, The Interrupters delivering a sense of unity in the boisterous harmony of the chorus.Check out the official lyric video for ‘Anything Was Better’ below:In a press release, lead singer Aimee Interrupter (real name Aimee Allen) spoke of the song’s harrowing origins: “[It’s] the story of my escape from not necessarily a location but from the pain and trauma of my upbringing.
