AWOLNATION

AWOLNATION have announced the release of their new studio album titled Run which will be released via Red Bull Records on March 17th. This is the highly anticipated follow-up to their chart-topping debut LP Megalithic Symphony. The band's electric first single is "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)."

Following a whirlwind two-year world tour in support of Megalithic Symphony, 2014 saw AWOLNATION withdraw 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.

“There is not one second on the record that hasn’t been thoughtfully placed,” said Bruno. “Every single element serves a purpose.”

According to the press release, standout songs alongside the first single include the cinematic "Jailbreak," the soaring anthem "I Am," the title track "Run," the euphoric "Windows," the painfully vulnerable "Headrest for My Soul," and the atomic rebellion of "KOOKSEVERYWHERE!!!!"

Released in 2011, AWOLNATION'S gold-certified debut album Megalithic Symphony holds a number of long-running Billboard chart positions including 146 weeks on the Independent Albums chart, 111 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, 105 weeks on the Top Rock Albums chart and has topped the Heatseekers Albums chart 8 separate times. Their hit single "Sail," is certified 6x Platinum in the U.S., is the second longest charting song in the Billboard Hot 100's 55-year history.

Following the success of "Sail," the band would go on to chart two more alternative singles, "Not Your Fault" and "Kill Your Heroes," having sold over a million downloads combined.

Since the release of their debut album, AWOLNATION has performed countless shows across the globe, including Coachella, Voodoo Festival, Austin City Limits, Osheaga, Brazil's Mix FM Fest and Austria's Frequency Festival.

An extensive U.S. summer tour will announced shortly, including a stop at this year's Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival, and the band will soon begin performing at select Stateside festival shows after a brief European tour this spring.
