Before endeavoring into AWOLNATION’s ferocious fourth studio album, band architect Aaron Bruno almost lost everything in 2018. “My studio burned down in the Woolsey Fire,” he tells Apple Music. “So this record was made in my bedroom.” But lo-fi it is not: The Los Angeles band, best known for 2011’s monolithic single “Sail,” has only become more ambitious in its approach to genre-agnostic alternative. There’s riff-forward adrenaline epics (“The Best”), booming bluesy punk (“Battered, Black & Blue [Hole in My Heart]”), sunny power pop (“Pacific Coast Highway in the Movies”), and vaudevillian electro-pop (“Slam [Angel Miners]”). Even the title, Angel Miners & the Lightning Riders, is representative of Bruno’s enterprising spirit—the album loosely follows a mythology of his own creation, used to make sense of inexplicable tragedy.
Freakstorm was founded as a tribute project in 2016. The first song the band recorded was a cover of US band Halestorm. The goal to hand this track over to their idols personally (which indeed happened), gave Sinah and Olli the motivation to record their own songs. After the self-released EP "We Got The Fire" (2018) and the EP "From Zero" (2019), a new era for Freakstorm began when they started to work with producer Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69/Helloween). He supported the band to develop a rich rock sound - a strong fundament for Sinah's powerful and clear voice. In May 2019 the successful single "Can't Keep Me Down" was released digitally.
