When considering Los Angeles outfit The Interrupters, take a moment to kindly forget jargon like 'SoCal punk rock' or 'next wave ska' or whatever perimeter you want to secure around them. A typical Interrupters gig feels like going to church where all the religious iconography is taken out and replaced with mirrors so the band and audience become one. Ignited by frontwoman Aimee Interrupter and the Bivona brothers' indefatigable enthusiasm, attendees can see joy in action; discover strength in numbers; and feel bulletproof when facing the forces that haunt them. There are no victims or outcasts in attendance when the quartet are onstage: Transfixed by the legendary '80s 2 Tone ska movement and fueled with a contemporary energy that makes 180-bpm thrash metallers seem positively slack, Aimee Interrupter and the Bivona brothers Kevin, Justin and Jesse blur the enthusiasm between band and audience in a way that's equal parts dance party, cardio workout and personal therapy.

The Interrupters formed in the band's hometown of Los Angeles in 2011. Guitarist Kevin Bivona and his twin brothers Justin (bass) and Jesse (drums) were thrilled by the 90's punk-rock resurgence as well as the groove, energy, and messages found in the original 2 Tone ska bands. Prior to meeting Aimee, the Bivonas were mainstays of Tim Timebomb And Friends, the ad hoc band founded by Tim Armstrong, working in the studio and backing the Rancid co-founder on tours. It was only after the Bivonas met Aimee in 2009 and started playing together did The Interrupters know they had a 100db je ne sais quois between them. Armstrong has been a mentor, producer, and acted as an honorary 'fifth Interrupter' with the band, offering sage advice to parallel the band's sweat equity.

Their self-titled 2014 debut caught on like pacific coast wildfire, bolstered by incredible songs, Aimee's 100,000-watt charisma, and a stage presence best described as the kinetic energy of Hi Bounce balls in human form. The Interrupters maintained their velocity across two additional LPs, Say It Out Loud (2016) and 2018's tour de force, Fight The Good Fight, all issued on Hellcat, Armstrong's imprint via Epitaph Records. Touring included a stint on the Vans Warped Tour and various support slots for punk-rock acts such as Rancid, Bad Religion and Green Day, among others.

For 25 years, Extreme Thing Sports & Music Festival has been part of the soundtrack of Las Vegas. What started in 2001 quickly grew into one of Southern Nevada's most anticipated annual music and action sports festivals - a place where punk, rock, hardcore, metal, alternative music and action sports collided for one day. Over the years, Extreme Thing brought together some of the biggest names in music alongside emerging artists, local bands, BMX, skateboarding, extreme sports, lifestyle brands and thousands of fans.
