ARANDA IS AN EXPERIENCE

The wall-shaking Oklahoma brothers are no strangers to the music scene. Dameon and Gabe Aranda have been writing, singing, and performing together for over a decade, learning from the likes of Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Jimi Hendrix.

Through strong dedication and friendly rivalry, Gabe and Dameon perfected their onstage presence. "We made each other better by having that competitive spirit," Gabe says. "We don't think about who's the better singer. We think about who is going to sound better on this part, whether this song is screaming for a wailer, a rock singer, or a more soulful voice."

Guitarist Dameon says that every time he learned a few new chords, he would use them to write a song. "We want to go out there with high energy, keep rocking, keep everybody entertained. We want to involve our audience and make it fun," he says. "Our hope is that you'll keep coming back for more."

On April 22nd, Dameon and Gabe released their long-awaited, eagerly anticipated debut album. To produce the record, they enlisted their Grammy-nominated friends Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello. Aranda now gives us a confident powerhouse of an album that matches the force that they have carried onstage for years.
