Kerrang!
What makes The Interrupters (completed by twin brothers, drummer Jesse and bassist Justin Bivona) so special, and their formula so darn difficult to replicate, is that while Aimee’s lyrics are unflinching and painful, the music that accompanies them is bouncy and bright, a rallying call for togetherness – a unified spirit that simply says ‘we’ll get through it together’. For anyone that’s ever been singled out or made to feel alone, you’re not; you’re actually part of a peaceful army, and In The Wild is a record for you.

The Interrupters' In The Wild is the joyous, defiant, liberating sound of a fearless survivor living her best life.

New Noise Magazine
Across 14 tracks, the band deftly churns through these riotous songs of survival and getting by, that come across as genuine. While some tracks are better than others, there are hardly any weak songs here, making for one of the band’s most consistently solid albums yet.

Their last album “Fight The Good Fight” was, by far, my favorite Interrupters album but this might tie it or exceed it. Either way, the band has been on a roll with some awesome ska punk music and clearly at the top of their game. This album showcases Aimee’s vocals, and the band exploring different styles. There’s punk, there’s ska, there’s some reggae inspired stuff too. There’s even a ballad! Couldn’t have asked for a better album from the Interrupters!

Ghost Cult Magazine
To wrap up In The Wild, ‘Afterthought’ and ‘Alien’ expertly sends off the audience by way of sharply blunt lyrics that can be as relatable as they are tough to swallow. “You’re not the man my mama prayed for / You’re who the devil sent instead” speaks for itself, as does “Cuz I don’t fit in, I’m strugglin’ / I’m trying to be “one of them / But I’m an alien around here.” As simple as the writing is, sometimes it’s exactly what someone needs to hear, especially from a well-respected figure. The act of Aimee performing raw, real-life songs backed by bubbly, encouraging ska music is as 2022 as it gets.

Punktastic
As the title suggests, this album very much showcases The Interrupters in the wild – a band so comfortable in who they are that they can bring listeners into their natural habitat and remain completely honest and genuine. ‘In The Wild’ may just be The Interrupters’ greatest work so far, and definitely explores and showcases the band’s versatility. Recorded in their own purpose-built studio and with guitarist Kevin Bivona sitting in the producer’s chair, it’s easy to see why this album is the most personal in The Interrupters’ catalogue thus far. Add that to everything that’s brought The Interrupters to this point and ‘In The Wild’ may very well be the album that propels this one-of-a-kind quartet into bigger venues and even further up festival posters.

Wall of Sound
In The Wild is great in that it never feels complacent. The Interrupters are at a point in the career where they could probably just retread old ground and put out a passable album but while In The Wild is distinctively an Interrupters album it also flirts with every part of their influence – genre-hopping from the dancehall-inspired ‘As We Live’ to doo-wop before mellowing out with the final haunting track, ‘Alien’. Overall, this eclectic mix of genres ties into the overall energy of the album.

Rock 'N' Load
In the Wild hits all the right notes, a tale of liberation from start to finish. 14 tracks of peace, love, strength and unity. For all the “outsiders” out there, this one’s for you

TGEFM
In The Wild takes you on a journey telling you the story of Aimee Interrupter’s upbringing and a musical journey featuring the band’s new sounds. You can tell the band recorded this album with a purpose and the songs dive deep into their personal skeletons. Some of the new sounds might stray too far from The Interrupters you are used too, but after a few listens I think most fans will be in to these departures.

Hysteria Magazine
Lyrically, In The Wild is a stark victory, with the band exploring dark and intimate narratives alongside their overarching spice, with Aimee’s whisky-soaked vocals capturing and commanding attention throughout the album’s every breath. It’s rare to stumble across a release that can fuse ska, reggae, punk and personal overtones into something equal parts accessible and satisfying, but, as any Interrupers fan will tell you, this is a band more than willing to traipse into the wild side by side with their listeners, taking you on an unforgettable and unexpected journey (and guaranteed, there would be some impromptu forest dance parties along the way).

It's All Dead
The Interrupters managed the unenviable task of following up a breakthrough album by doubling down on what made them stand out in the first place. In The Wild is a more measured album than the band has ever released. However, taking time to occasionally slow the journey down doesn’t mean the album isn’t brimming with energy. The Interrupters not only managed to revive a genre that was on life support, they’re making it fuller and richer than it’s been in years.

In The Wild is a record for everyone, whatever you've been through, everyone is welcome in the Interrupters family.
