Full Album Stream: AWOLNATION - Run

So one of the newest sections I created was "Full Album Streams".  Not only did this gave folks something to listen to when they are cruising the site (being that the original intention of this site was to acts as a hub to explore), but also a chance for people to explore new artists, new genres, and new albums before deciding to purchase them (also from links on AFGM's site).

Full album streams seem to be a new fad that a lot of internet savvy people are jumping on.  It can be in the form of a Soundcloud widget, a YouTube playlist, or even a single YouTube video.  This often gives record labels a chance to promote new artists and for people to subscribe to their social media pages.  So hopefully this provides you access to some new music, bands, and/or artists.  Cheers!

PS - Feel free to send us an email if you have any albums you think you should be on this list or a new one coming out we missed.  We're always listening!

His latest album, "Run", was released today (March 17th, 2015) via Red Bull Records.  AWOLNATION is:

The music sounds too cohesive even if the album is filled with different textures and tones that work together nicely to create a lush palette of feelings. It also has a more aggressive sound. Aaron Bruno’s vocals effects are once again impressive. The album also has a smooth balance between energy and slight moments. Holy Roller is a haunting atmospheric moment. Bruno reveals a more vulnerable side on  the acoustic guitar-driven track, Headrest for My Soul while standout songs like Jailbreak and I Am , take the listener on a cinematic journey. -Evigshed
