Get America Moving Again With Grunge Heavy You Don’t Wanna Know From Aranda

You Don’t Wanna Know

Grunge certainly is not dead, and neither is rock n roll. The brothers Dameon and Gabe Aranda have teamed up to ensure the genre lives on for another generation. For twenty years their band have been creating emotional feedback and melodic riffs that push the boundary and reform the inner child. They hit the big-time in 2008 when their debut self-titled album landed two top 40 singles. Their “whyyawannabringmedown” was covered by Kelly Clarkson on her platinum-selling All I Ever Wanted album. It was so popular that even WWE’s The Bash adopted it as a theme tune. No stranger to the open road, the band have played alongside some of the scene’s most luminous creatives including Papa Roach, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Staind, and Buck Cherry. The list continues. You Don’t Wanna Know continues the epic story through adventurous composition and elevated feeling. Perhaps it’s a bit of reverse psychology going on, but I really want to know what this song is like. Let’s listen.

A rush of sound rips into a wall of guitar and synth. The bass pumps along a seriously snappy drum pattern that sits up and grabs you by the collar. Leather jackets and ripped jeans music, white trainers and electric guitars. A classic grunge feel merges with electronic grooves that surge from roiling imaginations no longer tempered by tradition. There’s a kick and a punch that sits aggressively against classically mature and competent performances. Forward facing and confident hard rock stitches the whole thing together as emotional passages hit the corridors of progression and mood change. If you like Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Queens of the Stone Age, then Aranda fit perfectly on your supermix.
