Aimee Interrupter brings the ska to Dead Pioneers latest, ‘Never Alone’
FROM June’s ‘Wagon Burner’ album (Hassle Records), Denver’s DEAD PIONEERS are back with ‘Never Alone,’ featuring Aimee Interrupter from California-based ska-punks, The Interrupters.
“I wish I could express how proud we are about this collaboration, as well as how grateful we are to The Interrupters in their willingness to work with us on this one,” said head ‘Pioneer, Gregg Deal. “In all honesty, this has been in the works in conversation and execution for several years.
“To hear Aimee’s voice in the chorus is overwhelming, to be sure. Besides the fact that she has a powerhouse of a voice, I hear the sound of a six-year friendship with Aimee and the Bivona boys with my own family, that predates Dead Pioneers. When we say, ‘Never Alone’, we mean it, and I’m beyond grateful to share this with them.
“The very real and palatable feeling of not belonging and finding solace through music, community and found family is something so many of us can understand on multiple levels. ‘Never Alone’ is a homage to that familiar feeling of finding purpose in oneself, finding it through accessible means like music, community and the shared experiences associated with it.”
“Collaborating with friends is the best thing ever,” adds The Interrupters drummer Jesse Bivona. “We are so honoured to be a part of ‘Never Alone’. This song centres around finding community, enduring hard times and celebrating good times together, paving our own road and becoming family. A message that resonates with us deeply and we hope it resonates with you too.”
Joining Deal in the lineup are Josh Rivera (guitar), Abe Brennan (guitar), Lee Tesche (bass), and Shane Zweygardt (drums).
