Here Come the Runts by AWOLNATION

Here Come the Runts, Awolnation's third studio album, came out on Red Bull Records on February 2, 2018, the first since Run in 2015. Frontman Aaron Bruno got the title at home in Malibu, where his wife fosters puppies, and he turned it into a mission statement: the runt of the litter is the one that gets overlooked, has to fight harder, and comes out tougher for it. He's said the music business made him feel the same way.

The record plays like that, a scrappy, shape-shifting rock album from a guy still trying to prove himself years after "Sail". "Passion" and "Handyman" went out first as singles, "Seven Sticks of Dynamite" and "Miracle Man" followed as promotional tracks in late 2017, and later in 2018 an alternate take of "Table for One" with the singer Elohim appeared. There are 14 tracks, 2 of them interludes.
