Bringing their alternative post-grunge sound to the UK for the first time, Interia hit Corporation, Sheffield, for the second and final show of their short debut UK run.

Getting the show underway are local rockers Wolfsmoke, who bring a nice blend of funky basslines and good old heavy metal riffs. The band play a strong 30-minute set that certainly gets heads banging, with lead vocalist Jo Nash’s melodic vocals helping bring everything together. Their mix of styles shows a versatility that many bands don’t have, and having only been on the circuit for a short time, it’ll be good to see how these guys grow and build a following.

Up next are Decrepit Youths, who quite literally fill the stage with six members bringing their rap-metalcore sound to Sheffield for the first time. You can feel the energy rise from the moment they begin playing. Connor Pattison stomps around the stage and into the stalls, using every bit of space available to get the small crowd moving, and it’s clear these guys have plenty of potential. With songs like Jump and Monster In Me, I’d love to see Decrepit Youths playing to a packed-out room. Their combination of strong riffs and sing-along choruses packs a punch, and with a return to Sheffield already planned for next month, I’m looking forward to seeing what they can produce with a bigger crowd.

Coming all the way from Germany, Interia have arrived in the UK for the first time, choosing Sheffield as the second stop on their short debut run. Argaman Ventura and co. deliver deep, emotive and riff-packed songs that immediately draw you into their performance. As Ventura leans over the stage and smiles at the crowd, it’s clear that Interia are ready to make the most of their UK debut.

Breaking into Tree Of Decisions, with its slow and quiet opening, the band soon show their heavier side as the song builds into a punchy, riff-heavy ending. The second song of the night, Déjà Vu, is possibly their most memorable for me, with hard-hitting guitar riffs and a chorus that has the whole room singing along at Ventura’s request. Although short, the song hits hard and showcases Roy Asher’s guitar work.

Despite having a relatively small audience to work with, Interia make a real effort to engage everyone in the room, with plenty of back-and-forth between the band and different members of the crowd. It’ll be worth seeing how that connection translates to a larger venue.

Much to the audience’s enjoyment, the band’s cover of Killswitch Engage’s My Curse goes down extremely well mid-set and provides one of the biggest sing-along moments of the evening. As the hour-long set continues, Interia draw the crowd further in with their emotional lyrics and energetic stage presence.

As the set reaches its closing stages, it becomes a tale of two contrasting styles. The fast-paced Stefanie, complete with a drum solo from Idan Arad, is followed by the slower and more emotionally powerful Snow, bringing Interia’s first Sheffield show to a fitting close.

For a band making their first trip to the UK, Interia have made a strong first impression. They’ve shown they can connect with a crowd regardless of its size, while their mix of heavier riffs and more emotional moments gives them plenty of room to grow. Based on tonight’s performance, they deserve to be playing to much bigger crowds, and I’m looking forward to seeing where they go from here. Let’s hope they’re back in the UK soon!

Wednesday began in Asheville, North Carolina, in 2017 as the songwriting project of Karly Hartzman. Guitarist Daniel Gorham joined early in the project’s development, and the pair recorded the first full-length album, yep definitely, before Wednesday expanded into a full band. Over the next several years, Hartzman’s writing became the center of a sound that pulled together shoegaze, indie rock, grunge, country music, noise, and deeply specific stories from the American South. The band released the self-titled Wednesday EP in 2019 and followed with I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone in 2020, the first Wednesday full-length recorded as

“OH YEAHHHHHH!” What better way was there to celebrate Labor Day weekend than with pizza, beer, and ska punk?  If you were in Las Vegas this past weekend, then chances are you were celebrating at the 8^th annual Summer of Ska, hosted by Good Girlfriend Records.  This has been an annual event featuring ska from Las Vegas, SoCal, Texas, New Mexico, and more, all playing under some sort of variation of ska.  

Summer of Ska is a grassroots music event that was started by Tommy Nicholson, owner of Good Girlfriend Records.  Focusing on ska’s most championed trait of unity, for the past 8 years the Las Vegas event has brought in up-and-coming acts, returning legends, and an all-ages safe space for people of any race and queer identity.

From booking venues, to making sure each band was taken care of, it was made clear to me that Tommy had put a lot of work into this event.  Plus, this year was expanded to a full-on tour, traveling to venues in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona.  

What I enjoyed about Summer of Ska was its catalog of bands.  While under the same ska umbrella, each band brought their own styles and crossing of genres to make up a diverse sound of music.  If you enjoy a blend of ska/rocksteady/reggae, then you’d have Raskahuele and Warsaw Poland Bros. If you like that 3^rd wave pop punk feel, there was Chudson, Big Time!, and Swigfoot.  For those who prefer a ghetto-style of ska, you’d have watched Undisputed World Champions, Los Ataskados, and Trinidad.

These were just a few of the bands present this weekend, but here’s 2 that REALLY stood out to me:

La Chapuza

La Chapuza are a ska punk band from El Paso, Texas.  For almost 20 years, they have been one of the few ska acts of Texas that stand out for their incredible horn section.

I was able to witness them live for the first time this weekend, and it was hard to keep me still from their grounded rude tone style of ska.  Their effortless back and forth playing from ska to reggae kept the people moving for each song.  One song they played really stood out to me; I don’t remember the exact name but I believe it was called ‘Night of the Rocksteady’ (if anyone from La Chapuza is reading this, please let me know!).

The Odd Advantage

The best part of seeing The Odd Advantage is going with someone who’s seeing them live for the first time, because they’re in for something really special.  Nicknamed “Kings of the Inland Empire Underground”, The Odd Advantage have become a must-see in Las Vegas.  Their music sounds like any other ska punk band from SoCal, but their stage presence is like no other.  Songs like “Skank Backwards” and “Fucked Up” have become popular songs of theirs to play, with neither on streaming platforms; so, you HAVE to see them live.

Summer of Ska continues to prove that the ska genre is more alive than ever. Not only that, it also showed that you don’t have to pay big money for the next big music festival to see your favorite music acts. While companies like Live Nation have mastered the art of exploitation, it’s refreshing to see promotions that genuinely care about people on both sides of the stage.

If you missed Summer of Ska VIII, then stay tuned for Summer of Ska VIX.
