   AWOLNATION releases "The Best" – the heir apparent to their most enduring   
   hit song ever, "Sail." The track is the debut single from the band's   
   forthcoming album, their 4th overall and their first with BETTER NOISE Music.   
   Due out in 2020, the album    
   features guest appearances by Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Alex Ebert of Edward   
   Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.   
      
   Better Noise Music is an artist development company that creates and markets   
   entertainment content across various media platforms. Of the band's recent   
   signing to the label, managers Berko Pearce and Scott Sheldon of RM64 say   
   "It's exciting to partner    
   with a label that's at the forefront of marketing in the new streaming era,   
   and that has a proven track record of helping their artists reach bigger   
   audiences. We've been enjoying working with the BETTER NOISE team on an   
   integrated strategy across    
   streaming, touring and radio, and we're eager to launch AWOLNATION's next   
   projects with them."   
      
   Aaron Bruno, the songwriter and architect behind AWOLNATION, says of the new   
   single, which will also kick off the new album, "I'm always on the journey to   
   improving myself, but all along, knowing it's close to impossible to really be   
   the best at anything.   
    And what does it mean to be the best? And does that really matter? Or maybe   
   it is more about the journey and acceptance of comfort within one's own   
   existence"   
      
   The music video for "The Best," directed by Amalia Irons, also helps to tell   
   the beginning of the new album's story and introduce one of the main   
   characters. "I wanted to make a video that felt like some of my favorite   
   childhood adventure movies and    
   create something that has a magical feeling of the autumn season," says Bruno   
   of the video.   
      
   AWOLNATION will venture out on a headlining tour next year with special guest   
   Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness and openers The Beaches and Bleeker, kicking   
   off the tour on Memorial Day weekend in Asbury Park, NJ as the opening concert   
   for the 2020 Stony    
   Pony Summer Stage series. The formidable alternative tour will also include   
   stops in NYC at The Rooftop at Pier 17, Washington D.C.'s The Anthem, The   
   Aragon Ballroom in Chicago and The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. AWOLNATION

   the likes of Twenty One Pilots, Fall Out Boy, Prophets of Rage, Incubus, and   
   Weezer to name a few and secured spots on festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo,   
   Firefly Festival, Life Is Beautiful, Made in America, Austin City Limits,

   Aaron Bruno, the songwriter and architect behind AWOLNATION, wrote and

   chart-topping, record-breaking track 'Sail.' The first single off the platinum   
   Megalithic Symphony (2011), '
