THE FIRST... AARON BRUNO AWOLNATION

The first...

...Album I fell in love with

"I had an older brother, so I would steal his cassette tapes, or sneak into his room and listen to his turntable, but as far as having ownership of a tape it was Run DMC's 'Raising Hell'. I'll never forget the first song, 'Peter Piper'. It has this Bob James sample in it. As a kid I didn't know where a lot of these samples and beats came from, but I just thought they were incredible. Rap music was still very underground, and punk rock had only just hit the mainstream. It felt like I had made this discovery, which was very important to me as a kid. I also discovered it from my older brother, and I thought he was so cool. He was my hero. Really hip-hop and metal were my chance to listen to the music my mom wasn't listening to."

...Band I saw live
