Vinyl LP Features Single "Passion"!
'Here Come the Runts' is the third studio album from multi-platinum artist AWOLNATION. The album serves as a follow up to the platinum-certified debut album 'Megalithic Symphony,' and 2015's 'Run,' which included 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.
Here Come the Runts features the single "Passion" which generated over 1 million total streams in its first week and was the #1 most added track at Alternative Radio in the US & Canada. Other singles from the album include "Seven Sticks of Dynamite", "Miracle Man", and "Handyman".
"When all else is taken away, as long as your passion remains, anything is still possible," says singer, songwriter and producer Aaron Bruno. "'Passion' is about finding the balance that can lift both you and those around you to make the world a more positive place. It doesnt matter what names or labels people throw at you."
"The album presents its strengths at sporadic moments, carefully placed to bring you down after a wall of hard percussion and distortion with softer, sweeter moments that just sail along. 'Handyman' combines finger-picked acoustics with overdriven guitar and soaring, layered vocals, while 'Jealous Buffoon' consists of honest and revealing vocals wrapped up in kinetic vocal melodies, resonant guitar, and sharp staccato strings. Elsewhere, highlights are 'Seven Sticks of Dynamite' -- a slow, languid tempo that begins with pleasant acoustic chords before being ignited with pummeling percussion, sharply overdriven guitar, and gang vocal harmonies; album closer 'Stop That Train' consists of hard-hitting bass and snare, arpeggiated synth, sludgy guitar, and delayed, multi-tracked vocals. Here Come the Runts doesn't shine or resonate like Awolnation's previous material, though it is quite clear that Aaron Bruno's songwriting abilities are understated. His penchant for effortlessly combining bright melody and harmony with gritty distortion and towering walls of sound never ceases to entertain." - Rob Wacey, allmusic.com
