2010

Inspired by the likes of Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Angel City, Rose Tattoo, AC/DC and Motorhead, Airbourne have been waving the rock and roll flag for Australia since 2003, and in the process, winning fans and awards, like the one they took home in 2008 from the Metal Hammer Golden Gods, where the band s album Runnin Wild was named the year s Best Debut Album. They hail from Warrnambool, a small drinking town on the southwestern coast of Victoria, Australia, and they ve steadily gained an immense following among fans of infectious, high energy, whiskey-soaked, whiplash-inducing working man s rock. The band s new album is a mandatory addition to any self-respecting jukebox s library.
