What We Know So Far

The following appeared on The Musical Hype’s Monthly Music Shopping List.

The biggest claim to fame for Aaron Bruno, aka AWOLNATION, remains breakthrough hit, “Sail”. Even so, the gem from Megalithic Symphony arrived way back in 2011. The band returned in 2015 with second album, Run, but it featured no notable hit like “Sail.” Following a three-year hiatus, Bruno is back at it again with Here Comes the Runts. Comprised of 14 tracks, singles “Passion,” “Miracle Man,” “Handyman,” and “Seven Sticks of Dynamite” were issued in advance of the album.
