AWOLNATION

AWOLNATION is Aaron Bruno's project, formed in Los Angeles after years of fronting other bands. The debut single "Sail" turned into a slow-burning phenomenon, its dark, hypnotic build becoming one of the most recognisable rock songs of the early 2010s. Bruno's mix of alternative rock, electronic textures, and pop instinct has kept the project unpredictable from record to record.

Megalithic Symphony (2011). The debut album is where everything starts. It has "Sail," "Not Your Fault," and "Kill Your Heroes" all on one record, and it captures the blend of big hooks and restless energy that defines the project.
