Airbourne

Runnin' Wild Airbourne

There have been hell-raising rock 'n' roll bands over the years, but acclaimed Australian rockers Airbourne have taken the good-times, bad-boys, party-animal strut to a new level, crafting underdog-championing anthems with reckless abandon. Formed in the small town of Warrnambool on the south-western coast of Victoria, Airbourneannounced their arrival with 2007's Runnin' Wild, one of the most talked-about and best-reviewed debuts in recent hard rock history. Metal Hammer handed them a Golden Gods Award for Best Debut Album and Classic Rock rightly hailed them Best New Band. "What is most amazing about Runnin' Wild is how Airbourne is able to take such a simple formula and turn it into an album for the ages when so many other bands completely blow it. It is the spirit of rock 'n' roll that this quartet has harnessed. You don't learn to play music like this; you're born with it.
