Sail made AWOLNATION widely known, which was enough to make me want more (I'm an easy guy).
That led me to Megalithic Symphony, their debut album, most of which I must admit wasn't easy on my ears... at first.
I decided to give it a try anyway, and I started noticing that after each listen my feelings towards the record were slightly different, evolving from that initial what-the-hell-is-this to a hey-(I-just-met-you-and-this-is-crazy)-I-think-I-like-this.
While that internal process was taking place, Not your fault hit the radio stations, and suddenly everything changed: AWOLNATION were not a one-hit-wonder anymore, since that one was clearly their second hit.
A couple of weeks later, I was already sure that I liked Megalithic Symphony. A lot.
The album had a lot of potential, and I couldn't wait to see them perform it live. I had the change to do it last July in the Bilbao BBK Live 2012, where all my suspicions were confirmed: the gig was awesome, electrifying, fun, full of energy... a party from beginning to end.
AW-ESOME-OLNATION
