Going Awol.

Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under The Influence of Giants and a founding member of Home Town Hero, has thrust himself into an indie rock solo project he calls Awolnation.

2010 proved to be a good year for Bruno, between signing to Red Bull Records and touring with both Weezer and MGMT, while releasing his first EP, Back From Earth. In February 2011, the band's first single, "Sail," debuted at #30 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs chart and by March, Awolnation had dropped it's first full-length, entitled Megalithic Symphony.

The album boasts an incredibly impressive mixture of influences: electronica, hip-hop, and punk rock, whilst peppered with a persona of pop that is only to be countered by the gritty wails of Bruno himself. Don't be surprised when you find yourself dancing, fist-pumping or even scratching your head as you try to make sense out of this auditory genius...
