Aimee Allen is an American singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. She is currently the lead vocalist for the Hellcat Records band The Interrupters.

Aimee Allen was signed to Elektra Records in 2002 after being discovered by producer Randy Jackson. Her debut album I'd Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up in the Morning, featuring tracks produced by Mark Ronson and Don Gilmore, was never released due to the label being absorbed by Atlantic Records. The label did, however, release her first single "Revolution”, which was a featured rock video on MTV as well as the theme for the WB Television Network series Birds of Prey
Allen contributed to the writing of Unwritten Law's album Here's to the Mourning, released in February 2005. She co-wrote lyrics for the entire album with lead singer Scott Russo including the hit single “Save Me (Wake Up Call)”, which was co-written and produced by Linda Perry. A brief romantic relationship between Allen and Russo resulted in a side project called Scott & Aimee. Their album Sitting in a Tree was released in 2007 by Side Tracked Records. The track “Miss America” won the vox populi award for Best Punk Song at the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards. She returned the following year as a judge at the 8th Annual IMA’s.
Aimee is known for her vocals on the song "Cooties" made for the soundtrack of the 2007 version of the movie Hairspray.
In 2007 her song "Stripper Friends" was re-worked and recorded by Kevin Michael featuring Lupe Fiasco as the hit single "We All Want the Same Thing," released by Downtown Records on the debut album Kevin Michael. That same year the song was also covered by celebrity Tila Tequila for her MTV reality show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.
In 2008, Aimee supported presidential hopeful Ron Paul by recording an "unofficial Ron Paul Anthem”, including a music video entitled "Ron Paul Revolution Theme Song”, and performing at events during the 2008 campaign. She also performed this song at the "We Are The Future Rally" in Tampa, FL in 2012.
In 2011, Allen's song with members of The Black Eyed Peas "Days Like This" was featured in the film Mean Girls 2.
She co-hosted SuicideGirls Radio Sunday nights on Indie 103.1 FM in Los Angeles.
In April 2011, Allen collaborated on the Sublime with Rome album Yours Truly. She is the featured vocalist on the song “Safe and Sound”.
In 2012, Allen sang backing vocals on Jimmy Cliff's Grammy award winning album Rebirth produced by Tim Armstrong of Rancid. This led to more collaboration with Armstrong. Throughout 2012 and 2013, Aimee's vocals were featured on several songs with Armstrong for his project, Tim Timebomb and Friends.
