Albums I like : Airbourne the new AC/DC?

Airbourne – Runnin Wild
Roadrunner Records
28th January 2008

"All right people! Welcome to the show!"
Australian Airbourne delivers a foot to the floor album full of crunching riffs & sing along choruses, and they don’t let go till the album stops 38 minutes later.

The comparison with AC/DC are inevitable, but that’s not a bad thing, is it? They play the type of music that made AC/DC great, but Airbourne does it properly and with style.

“We’re honoured to be compared to the world’s best rock ’n’ roll band—how could you not be?” ~ 24-year-old frontman Joel O’Keeffe.

“Runnin Wild” has been hailed by many as “THE” rock album of the year, so needless to say – Check it out!!

Too Much Too Young Too Fast


“I suggest anyone who likes there rock music loud, aggressive and fast paced, buy this album immedietaly.” ~ Rockhospital.com

“My God, this is the real deal. The unbroken line that reaches back from Rose Tattoo and The Angels has caught up with present day rock'n'roll. In fact, new Oz band Airbourne make latter day AC/DC, architects of some of the greatest hard rock anthems of all time, sound like a spent force.” ~ Revelationz.net
