Airbourne to release forthcoming album on Roadrunner in Australia
All roads lead to Roadrunner Records for Airbourne, as Warrnambool’s favourite prodigal sons announce their new album will be released on the label worldwide - this time including Australia!
Born and raised in the rural Victorian town of Warrnambool - population: 32,000 - frontman Joel O’Keeffe, says his only interest was devouring the albums he’d stolen from his uncle by Rose Tattoo, AC/DC, The Angels, Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and Cold Chisel.
Paying close attention was younger brother Ryan and the brothers spent their weekends rehearsing, much to the delight of their neighbours, who constantly sent the police over. “It got to the point where the cops would just end up saying, ‘Look, come on, guys, we’ve gotta stop coming around here ‘cos we’ve got other people to arrest,’” laughs Joel.
The new album is expected to surface this year and follows their aptly titled second ‘No Guts. No Glory’, which really speaks volumes for Airbourne’s general, all round work ethic and their attitude toward making music.
“You have to bleed and do anything you can to make sure the album gets out there,” says Joel. “Every day you wake up and say, ‘how are we going to do this?’ We haven’t had time off in years. It’s every day, 24 hours.”
Stay tuned for more information on Airbourne’s third studio album, to be released later this year on Roadrunner Records.
