Awolnation have released a live video showcasing their track Burn It Down.

The song originally appeared on the US outfit’s debut studio album Megalithic Symphony in 2011, with the new promo featuring a guest appearance from Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan.

It was filmed at their sold out show at the Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles, in March this year, a set that also saw Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo join them onstage.

McKagan also appeared in Awolnation’s video for their single Seven Sticks Of Dynamite from their latest album Here Come The Runts which was released in February via Red Bull Records.

Speaking to Louder about the follow-up to 2015’s Run, frontman Aaron Bruno said: “After surviving the second record and having success with that, it helps you to feel encouraged to continue to make music.

“There’s a certain kind of focus on this record that I’ve never felt before. Maybe it’s just the natural progression of maturing, maybe it’s the point I’m at in my life where I’d like to think I’m getting better – always trying to push myself to write a better song, or produce better, or write better lyrics.

“I felt much more of a focus on this record, and the story I wanted to tell is a very exciting story.”

Awolnation are currently on tour across Europe.
