About Airbourne

Hailing from Warrnambool, Victoria, Airbourne have carved out a formidable reputation as purveyors of pure, unadulterated, no-nonsense rock and roll. Formed in 2001 by brothers Joel (vocals, guitar) and Ryan O’Keeffe (drums), alongside guitarists David Roads and bassist Justin Street, the band emerged with a sound that paid homage to the golden era of hard rock. Their debut album, “Running Wild,” released in 2007, immediately signalled their intent, bursting forth with anthemic choruses and a relentless energy that drew comparisons to AC/DC, a compliment they wear with pride.

Over the years, Airbourne have consistently delivered albums that uphold their commitment to authentic rock. From the stadium-ready anthems of “No Guts. No Glory.” (2010) and “Black Dog Barking” (2013) to the more focused intensity of “Diamond in the Rough” (2017) and their latest offering, “Boneshaker” (2019), their discography is a testament to their enduring passion. Their music is built on a foundation of driving guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and a rhythm section that hits like a runaway train.

Notable hits that have become live staples include the electrifying “Runnin’ Wild,” the beer-swilling anthem “Too Much, Too Fast,” the high-octane “Live It Up,” and the gritty “Back in the Game.” These tracks, and many more, showcase their ability to craft songs that are both instantly memorable and explosively energetic. Airbourne are not a band that rests on their laurels; they are a live force of nature, consistently touring and delivering performances that are a true spectacle of rock and roll rebellion. Their commitment to the genre is unwavering, making them a vital and exhilarating presence in contemporary hard rock.
