From his studio in the coastal mountains, Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION joins Johnny to learn about his latest heavier project, The Barbarians of California. To kick things off, the boys connect quickly over fatherhood and surfing. Aaron shares a little about his home studio and how he uses it to record different parts of songs. The conversation dives into commonalities in finding fellow band mates around the same age to understand same era of pop culture and get each other’s joke references. We learn why AWOLNATION was the project that finally hit for Aaron in his 30s after two failed bands. Aaron shares how his father was very instrumental in his mastery within the music industry. Humble beginnings are shared of filling Henry Cavill's shoes as a busy boy leads to the hard hitting question of, “How does Superman bone down?” From 80s pop from his mother, to the jazz from his father, and then rounding it with his brother introducing NWA and Pantera, Aaron shares the very broad range of musical styles that will forever influence him. We learn that hip hop is what made Aaron a Raiders fan and anyone who brings up Raider Nation around Johnny is destined to turn the conversation to football talk.
