Name Origin:
Aaron Bruno used to leave high school without saying goodbye to his friends because it was easier,
so they used to nickname him 'Awol' (absence without leave). When Bruno decided to form his own band
after being part of major label Californian groups Under the Influence of Giants and Hometown Hero,
he decided to name it after his high school moniker.
