LANDING ATOP THE BILLBOARD 200 AT #17,
INDEPENDENT ALBUMS #2, ALTERNATIVE ALBUMS #3,
TOP ROCK ALBUMS #4, DIGITAL ALBUMS #6
TOP ALBUM SALES #9 AND CURRENT ALBUMS #9
Currently on tour in Europe playing to sold out crowds, the band returns to the U.S. for a televised live performance on Conan (TBS 11:00pm/10:00pm central) Tuesday, April 7th, followed by a round of select festival dates this spring. Continuing to climb the charts, the debut single "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)" has exploded into the Top 5 at alternative radio where it currently sits at #3.
Following a whirlwind two-year world tour in support of Megalithic Symphony, AWOLNATION withdrew into the depths of the California coastline to construct the sophomore effort. A culmination of the years following the release of the debut album, the 14-track Run, was written, performed and produced entirely by musical architect Aaron Bruno. The end result is a finely tuned musical masterwork that is at times, and all at once, sprawling, atmospheric, exuberant, earnest and refined with moments of a signature aggressive unease. CraveOnline stated, "these sounds are designed to stick in your head, and they succeed in their purpose, gorgeously," with Alternative Press calling Run "the first AWOLNATION album of the rest of your life."
Released in 2011, the band's gold-certified debut album Megalithic Symphony
was an alternative music revelation that became an astonishing success
resonating with fans around the world. The album holds a number of
long-running Billboard chart positions including 146 weeks on the
Independent Albums chart, 111 weeks on the Billboard Top200, 105 weeks
on the Top Rock Albums chart and has topped the Heatseekers Albums chart
several times over. Their hit single "Sail," a redefining global
anthem, is certified 6X Platinumin the U.S., and is the second longest
charting song in the Billboard Hot 100's 55-year history amassing
hundreds of millions of video views and streaming plays online while
charting around the world. Following the success of "Sail," the band
would go on to have two more Top 10 charting alternative singles, "Not
Your Fault" and "Kill Your Heroes," having sold over a million downloads
combined. Since the release of their debut, AWOLNATION has performed
countless shows to millions of fans across the globe.
AWOLNation is a fave of Jotell.
