Interview: AWOLNATION’s Drew Stewart Talks New Album, Wild Touring Moments

By Johnny Firecloud

Before kicking the hell out of this year’s KROQ Weenie Roast with a fantastically bombastic performance, Drew Stewart – lead guitarist of AWOLNATION – took some time backstage with host Erin Darling to talk about all things AWOL, including working on the band’s second album, inspirations leading the creative process and some of the band’s more wild moments on the road. Drew also gives some solid props to Red Bull Records, who treat artists with the respect and consideration one would find on a smaller, independent record label. Check it out below:
