AIRBOURNE to release third album, BLACK DOG BARKING

Airbourne’s infectious music has been used in more than 20 video games, countless films, trailers and more.  Inspired by the likes of Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC and Motörhead, Airbourne has been winning fans since 2003 with their high energy, whiplash-inducing, working man’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Airbourne has also racked up numerous accolades and awards including one they took home in 2008 from the Metal Hammer Golden Gods and the Best International Breakthrough Artist in 2010 at the annual Bandit Rock Awards. Their first album Runnin’ Wild was named the year’s Best Debut Album. Spin said “Runnin' Wild, Airbourne's debut, is a smorgasbord of sledgehammer riffs, crass sex puns, and boozy sing-alongs.”

Hailing from Warrnambool, a small drinking town on the southwestern coast of Victoria, Australia, Airbourne has steadily gained an immense following with their explosive live shows and main stage festival appearances including a headliner spot at Wacken 2011, Rock Am Ring/Park (Germany) and Download (UK).  It's been a long year and a half for Airbourne since coming off the road mid-2011 to work on Black Dog Barking.  Said the band, “A lot of thought and effort has gone into this record not only by the band, but by the production crew who worked countless hours, seven days a week, even through Christmas and New Year’s Eve to achieve the best possible performances, backed by real undying tones.  Now we're handing it over to you... so crank it up, crack a beer and stick some rock 'n' roll in your ear!”

Airbourne is Joel O’Keeffe (Vocals/Lead Guitar), Ryan O’Keeffe (Drums), David Roads (Guitar), Justin Street (Bass).
