Aaron Bruno's rock-electronic project that started in Southern California around 2009.
For the project's signature sound, 'Paradise (Freestyle)' and 'The Transition' frame it well. 'Pumped Up Kicks' is the one everyone knows, but those earlier tracks show where it came from.
The project's 2011 album Megalithic Symphony included 'Pumped Up Kicks,' a song whose melody and lyrics about a school shooting sparked real discussion about mental health and gun violence. That track became their most recognizable work, but songs like 'Paradise (Freestyle)' and 'The Transition' show the rock-electronic range that's been there from the start. They kept putting out albums every few years, with 'Blank Space (Remix)' and 'Headed Home' with Lindsey Stirling showing that mix of styles continued.
Yonas started as Aaron Bruno's project in Southern California around 2009, releasing Megalithic Symphony in 2011. They followed with albums like Run in 2015 and Angel Miners & the Lightning Riders in 2020, with a lineup that's included Isaac Carpenter on drums and Zack Hurd on bass.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
