When bands get cute with stylizing�their names, it can be a Liz Lemon-worthy eyeroll moment. Why does fun. think they�re above capitalization and normal punctuation? What�s up with the spaces in S U R V I V E�s name? Who does !!! think they�re foolin�?

But Los Angeles� AWOLNATION? Oh, no. Not them. The premiere screaming men of Austin City Limits Music Festival earned that all-caps moment in every way they could. Here are 23 reasons why.

Lead singer/scream engineer Aaron Bruno looks like heavy metal Cali Jesus, a crackling bonfire of beard, highlights and tan decked out in a short-panted flight suit. You could also describe the overall look as �Father John Misty with the irony baked out of him by the Los Angeles sun.� The band�s Jekyll-Hyde of heavy metal and palatable indie rock infused their guitarist with perma-lip curl, particularly on �Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf).� That song, which is technically rap if you use a broad definition, but I would hesitate to call it rap-metal, because that seems like an unnecessary slur. SAIL Did drummer Isaac Carpenter�s shirt come off from the sheer vibrations emanating from his sonic-boom drums? I walked up a few seconds late, so I might have missed any�shredding fabric. Aaron Bruno vocal comparison No. 1: cobras streaming out of his raw throat. People usually seem appreciative about returning to ACL once they�ve hit it big, but Bruno�s open-hearted joy about making a triumphant Zilker Park rendezvous after their 2011 fest debut was palpable. Bruno channeled the crowd�s energy with wiggling fingertips. Wizards are metal. On �Not Your Fault,� Bruno welcomed his penchant for Creed noises with arms wide open. SAIL. Unironic use of the word �party people.� The only show where �sing along� is code for �emit a blood curdling expression of enthusiasm with no discernible verbal significance.� Aaron Bruno vocal comparison No. 2: the furious last stand of an intense, unblinking drifter. �Kill Your Heroes� surely snagging the title of Most Fatalistic Party Anthem of ACL. Accept your mortality�and get a great cardio burn going! The band dedicated �Woman Woman� to an inflatable T-Rex on a stick. On that number, Bruno wound up a pitch to the crowd when he indicated to them to sing the words. Literally. Running. Laps. During �I Am.� Aaron Bruno vocal comparison No. 3: drunk Beastie Boy. The drum solo on that song turned into an episode of �Metalocalypse.� Bruno exhorted the audience to get down as low as possible before an explosive jump for �Burn It Down,� and it should be emphasized that AWOLNATION has a song called �Burn It Down.� SAAAAAAIIIIIL. No, actually, �Sail.� I kid you not, an actual breeze blew in as soon as the song started. The crowd lost their marbles when the opening notes sounded. The song was a blistering, spartan banger, and Bruno finished it in the photo pit doling out high-fives across the line. The band played, letting the biggest rock cacophony at the fest bleed out into victory lap of sound. ]]
