You may not know the band Under The Influence Of Giants, but halfway the zeroes I was rather fond of their single Mama’s Room. Alas, any success of that track appears to have been restricted to mama’s room as well 😉 . After their eponymous album, with this track on it, failed to have the international success it deserved, the band dissolved. But not really…

Singer Aaron Bruno, bassist David Amezcua and guitarist Drew Stewart formed the band Awlonation in 2009 (although the latter two have left in recent years). Their 2011 debut album Megalithic Symphony featured the single Sail, that only really peaked a few years later, after having featured in numerous movies, TV shows and commercials.

Ahead of a future third album, Awolnation just released their new single Passion. Very strong track!
