AWOLNATION and surfer/musician Makua have premiered the video for their collaborative single, "Catch a Wave."

The clip, now on YouTube, features AWOLNATION frontman Aaron Bruno as a giant cyclops chasing Makua down the streets of Los Angeles.

"I wrote the song about a fellow surfer passing away in the water," Bruno says in a statement. "It never felt appropriate to release on my own. Then I met Makua, and given the big wave champion that he is, the timing felt right."

The song "Catch a Wave" was released in February.

AWOLNATION's most recent album is 2024's The Phantom Five. Bruno's also been releasing music with his hardcore side project, The Barbarians of California.
