Resonance starts with an eerie prelude and quickly jumps into hard-hitting vocals and exciting drum patterns with the song, It’s Just Business (one of my favorites on the album and where the quote above came from).
The album remains fresh with each listen and shows a clear distinction between each song by giving them each their own unique characteristic. Their sound is not completely unique, however it is far from a cookie-cutter pop-rock band. I have since replayed the album in its entirety ten more times and still find myself enjoying every second of it. My head began to move back and forth and my feet started to tap out the beat from the moment I started the album. Their album Resonance genuinely surprised me. The band is currently in the process of writing/recording for a new album to be released later this year and has a couple of that album’s singles on youtube. In the past year Awaken I Am has toured with an impressive amount of well-known bands such as The Amity Affliction, Closure In Moscow, As Tall As Lions, Lydia, Dream On Dreamer, Tonight Alive, Parkway Drive, Skyway, Caulfield, Rufio, Floating Me, Electric Horse, The Winnie Coopers, Surecut Kids, and many more.
Band members include: Adam Douglas (lyrics), Ashley Jackson (guitar), Dave Nankervis (guitar/vocals), Joel Goodlet (drums), and Daniel Minns (bass). Infectious guitar riffs, catchy lyrics with beautiful melodies, and drums you can’t help but tap your feet to, meld together to form this very solid album that is over way too fast.Īwaken I Am is a 5-piece Progressive Pop-Rock band from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, Australia and was formed as a fresh start from the fragments of a band known as Sleepers. Ready to take Blind Love across the planet, AWAKEN I AM will deliver their new live staples as they join Slaves on an Australian/New Zealand run beginning August 3 rd, with additional dates to be announced soon.This quote from Awaken I Am’s EP Resonance, released in October 2011, could not define this album better.

Pre-Orders for Blind Love are available today and include an instant download of the title track. Jumping right into inspired sessions with producer Taylor Larson (From First To Last, I See Stars, Periphery), the band emerged with Blind Love, which according to Douglas, “is an impassioned record about relationships and being blind to another’s faults – and our struggles to look past our mistakes.” All this ultimately lead to a worldwide deal with Victory Records in December 2016. They continued pushing the boundaries of all genres, playing as openers and headliners, and turned the Australian rock scene on its head. AWAKEN I AM’s live show is impressive as well, erupting with energy, which was witnessed around the world on tours with Chiodos, The Devil Wears Prada, Emarosa, headlining dates in Japan and an appearance at So What Festival in Dallas. In 2014, AWAKEN I AM released their first album Shields & Crowns, which went on to extensive radio play across Australia, reaching #3 on the iTunes Metal Chart. Something I feel shows both sides of love and hate.” He adds, “The imagery in the music video of the rose withering over time representing a dying love, while the broken mirror represents seeing a muddled version of who you want to be. On the track, vocalist Adam Douglas says it was written from his personal experience of becoming someone he never wanted to be, but being loved anyway. The Australian Gold Coast quintet have delivered a captivatingly hypnotic and visually liberating music video for the first single and title track, “Blind Love.” Blind Love, the sonically infectious, ethereal and groundbreaking new album from AWAKEN I AM is set for release on September 29 th, 2017.
