On this episode I sit down with Dan and Chris with Abandon Alien. Come join us at the Aloha Backyard as we talk about the start of the band in the time of the Pandemic, the current album, and new album in the works. Let's Talk About Music! Prepare to be captivated by Abandon Alien, an electrifying alt-rock band that seamlessly blends the angsty guitar-driven anthems of 90's grunge with an audacious and innovative twist. Hailing from the heart of Oklahoma City, the band was formed by the talented Dan Bollman, former front man of the renowned Happy Tuesday. Abandon Alien fearlessly confronts the despair of our contemporary world head-on, fearlessly delving into the depths of mental illness and isolation with lyrics that resonate with audiences on a profound level. Their music serves as a vessel for catharsis, illuminating even life's darkest moments with a flicker of hope and understanding.. Get ready to embark on a musical journey like no other as Abandon Alien prepares to unleash their latest creations upon the world. Stay tuned for their forthcoming music, poised to push the boundaries of the alt-rock genre and leave an indelible mark on the music scene. Johnathan Grissom and guest talk about the Local Music Industry and interview Artist from Oklahoma and beyond.
