Dead Pioneers team up with The Interrupters for new single, Never Alone

Dead Pioneers have released a triumphant new single, Never Alone, featuring The Interrupters.

The track is taken from the punks’ forthcoming Wagon Burner album, which is due out on June 26 via Hassle Records. “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,” enthuses frontman Gregg Deal. “In all honesty, this has been in the works in conversation and execution for several years and can’t wait to share the very personal backstory on this.

“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. I’m a fan of The Interrupters but also know through their music and firsthand how genuine they are in their mutual feeling and understanding of what this music does.

“Never Alone is a homage to that familiar feeling of finding purpose in one’s self. Finding it through accessible means like music, community and the shared experiences associated with it. To share this with The Interrupters, Aimee, Kevin, Justin and Jesse is a dream. These are four fantastic people that don’t just understand these ideas, but stand by it in their love and compassion for the very human feelings of needing to find your place in the world. We’re super proud to share space with them as family.”

“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 with the incredible Dead Pioneers. We love them so much. 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!”
