Riot Fest 2014 Day 1 Band 8: AWOLNATION

I decided to check out AWOLNATION at Riot Fest based on a friend's recommendation. They are a fun, heavy pop act with some eminently catchy tunes. They're still touring their 2011 album Megalithic Symphony and all the hits it contains.

They certainly have a way of getting the crowd going and their tunes get people bouncing. Here's a smattering of tunes from their setlist.

"Not Your Fault"

"Kill Your Heroes"

"Sail"

"Burn It Down"
