Awolnation Drops Covers Album

Awolnation is sharing their new, guest-filled covers album.

The compilation is called, “My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers and Me” and includes the band’s versions of the Scorpions‘ “Wind of Change” with Incubus‘ Brandon Boyd and Portgual. the Man, Midnight Oil‘s “Beds Are Burning” with Rise Against, ABBA‘s “Take a Chance on Me” with Jewel and Madonna‘s “Material Girl” with Hanson‘s Taylor Hanson.

Frontman Aaron Bruno said tying to create something fun during the pandemic seemed like the best option he had.

He explained, “Music is there to help people, it’s supposed to be fun. When it can be lighthearted, that’s a great thing. That was generally the attitude I took to making this whole project.”

He says the record was a nice alternative to “looking at negative news all the time and living in a constant state of panic” saying it was therapeutic for him.
