AIRBOURNE are back — and making their new album was anything but easy! In this exclusive interview, Ryan O’Keeffe takes us inside the wild and dangerous journey behind the new Airbourne album. From battling hurricanes and dealing with spiders and snakes to overcoming the unexpected challenges that threatened to derail the process, this is the incredible story behind what could become a career-defining record for one of the most electrifying hard rock bands on the planet.
We talk about the making of the new album, the band's relentless approach to rock ’n’ roll, surviving the chaos around them, the creative process, life on the road, and why Airbourne are still here, still gutsy, and still carrying the torch for loud, unapologetic Australian hard rock.
If you're a fan of Airbourne, AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, rock music, guitar riffs, arena rock, live music and pure high-voltage rock ’n’ roll, you won't want to miss this one.
