Ears Wide Open: AWOLNATION

awolnation

You might remember Under the Influence of Giants from their 2006 album and their party-starting shows on the Sunset Strip. Frontman Aaron Bruno has turned the page but maintained the energy with his new please-capitalize-me outfit AWOLNATION. The band’s debut EP “Back From Earth” was released in May, and the first single, “Burn It Down,” sounds like Jerry Lee Lewis in a synth-rock blender. Whoo-whoo at your own risk.
