Season 10 Episode 5: Emo Dad talks to Aaron Bruno (AWOLNATION, Barbarians of California)Matt and James were delighted to catch a quick chat (during a break in band practice) with the man behind megastars AWOLNATION and the incredible hardcore band Barbarians of California, and all round top guy, Aaron Bruno. We discuss the early days of life, going to see Strife and Snapcase in LA, being inspired to start hardcore bands, before eventually building a hugely successful career with AWOLNATION (over a billion streams worldwide). We chat about how esteemed producer and engineer Eric Stenman and Aaron came together to become friends and bond over a love of heavy music, eventually starting Barbarians of California, working on the band in parallel with AWOLNATION writing. We discuss what it was like to play their first show at the Troubadour in LA, the reaction to the band, and the influences which have inspired their heavy and quirky style of hardcore.All this plus Aaron telling off the rest of the band for being too noisy, Cactus drinks, playing with Guns n Roses and so much more.We hope you enjoy.
