Oklahoma City rock heavyweights Aranda return with another irresistible release “You Don’t Wanna Know.” With their new single, the seasoned musicians have never sounded more raw, honest and compelling. 

The music video mirrors the track’s central conflict: the push-and-pull between wanting to let someone in and fearing what happens when they see the parts of you still scarred by past mistakes. Visually stark and emotionally exposed, the video strips away distractions to focus on the storm brewing inside the song. Tight, intimate shots capture the tension in every lyric, while the band’s performance cuts in with snarling guitars and soaring vocals that remind you why Aranda has remained a force in hard rock since 2001.

“You Don’t Wanna Know” hits with the weight of confession. Dameon Aranda describes the track as “being broken to the point where you don’t trust anyone to love you past your mistakes,” and that sentiment bleeds through every frame. The band’s signature grit is fully intact, but this time it’s paired with an unfiltered emotional punch that feels both universal and painfully personal. The chorus erupts like a storm front, melodic, aggressive, and undeniably Aranda.

For longtime fans, the track is a natural evolution. Aranda has built a career on turning vulnerability into volcano-level rock, from early hits like “Still in the Dark” and “Whyyawannabringmedown” to their chart-climbing era with Wind-up Records and the recent success of “Punch Out.” Their new single continues that lineage but digs even deeper, proving that emotional honesty can be as explosive as any guitar riff.

The duo’s chemistry honed over years of touring with rock powerhouses like Shinedown, Staind, Halestorm, and Stone Temple Pilots, translates seamlessly to the screen. The performance segments feel lived-in, urgent, and cathartic, as if the band is exhaling decades’ worth of hurt and resilience all at once.

“You Don’t Wanna Know” isn’t just another addition to Aranda’s catalog; it’s a statement. A confession. A battle cry for anyone who’s ever wanted to love someone but feared dragging their ghosts into the light.

With a new chapter unfolding, a growing discography of charting singles, and upcoming 2025 tour dates across Dallas, Wichita, and their hometown of Oklahoma City, Aranda proves once again that they’re more than survivors in the rock world, they’re storytellers, craftsmen, and emotional truth-seekers. And this time, the truth hits hard.
