Multi-platinum artists Awolnation have announced the release of their third studio album, Here Come The Runts, on February 2, 2018. Fans can preorder the album starting now at awolnationmusic.com and receive instant downloads of ‘Seven Sticks of Dynamite,’ and current single ‘Passion,’ which was the #1 most added at US Alternative Radio and currently #19 on the Alt Radio charts. In the meantime fans can stream Seven Sticks of Dynamite below!
Serving as a follow up to the platinum-certified debut album Megalithic Symphony, and 2015’s Run, which included US No. 1 hit Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf) as well as Top 5 tracks ‘I Am’ and ‘Woman Woman,’ Awolnation’s third undertaking sees Aaron Bruno once again at the helm producing, writing and recording. “With this record I really wanted to make a rock n’ roll/pop album.’ says Bruno. ‘And I say ‘pop’ how I grew up listening to it, in the sense of Dire Straits or Born In The U.S.A or The Cars or Tom Petty.’
Bruno spent 2016 crafting the album in his home studio nestled in the coastal mountain range separating the Pacific Ocean and the suburbs of Los Angeles where he grew up. The secluded location is reflected throughout the album. “The record definitely has a feel to it that seems parallel to the vibe of this mountain and the land,” Bruno notes. “It’s like a non-GMO record. There’s no fake shit on there, none of the vocals are tuned. It’s all real playing.”
In support of Here Come The Runts, Awolnation will be embarking on a North American headlining tour with support from Nothing But Thieves on February 11th in Toronto. They will then be crossing the pond for a European/UK run throughout the month of April. A full list of European dates can be found below. Tickets go on sale on Friday.
