History
Dameon and Gabe Aranda have been creating music since an early age. The band became Aranda in 2001 after years of playing locally in Oklahoma City with various groups under various names such as "Image" and "Freewill" in the 1990s. Original drummer Armando Lopez left the band in 2003 to join No Justice. Mike Walker joined the band to record "The 405 Sessions" in 2004 and became a permanent member when the band signed to Astonish records in 2006. The band's first full-length record, Aranda, was released on April 22, 2008.[1] The first single, "Still in the Dark", peaked at No. 31 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[2] Aranda has toured with bands like The All-American Rejects, Buckcherry, Sevendust, Anew Revolution, Since October, Edisun, Saliva, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, Black Stone Cherry and Tantric. They also were on tour with Halestorm, Adelitas Way, 3 Doors Down, and Daughtry. It was announced on February 22, 2010 that Aranda will be a part of Rocklahoma 2010 in Pryor, Oklahoma.
