“It’s only gonna take a little time before we lose our minds,” by AWOLNATION.

On March 15, 2011, the newly discovered group, AWOLNATION, released their second album Megalithic Symphony. This album included the gold record, all-time hit single “Sail”. After the release of their first album Back from Earth, in May 2010, and the attention from “Sail”, this group has earned a spot on the top charts.

AWOLNATION’s music is a collaboration of techno, pop, alternative and electronic rock. The band is led by frontman and vocalist Aaron Bruno,  formerly from Under The Influence Of Giants, Home Town Hero and Insurgence. Christopher Thorn on lead guiter, Kenny Carkeet on guitar and keyboard, David Amezcua on bass and Hayden Scott on drums make up the rest of the group.

This past summer, AWOL came to Kansas and performed at Buzz Beachball. As a fan, I have to say the experience was thrilling. The group also made a more recent appearance at the Beaumont Club in January. Even on stage they manage to have the same effect as they do with their studio-recordings, including all the effects. They get everyone in the audience on their feet with their hands in the air.

Just this month the group began their Fall Harvest Tour. The closest the world-wide tour comes to Kansas is Denver, CO on March 16. On this tour they will feature Megalithic Symphony.

AWOLNATION’s music is available on iTunes. If you want feel-good music with original lyrics and musicality, check them out.
