The last I heard of Airbourne they were slagging off local success stories like Wolfmother and Jet and insisting they’d treat Australia as nothing more than a tourist destination. They seemed confident that they would be the next big thing, but most of us forgot all about them.
They’re aiming to get back into the spotlight with the May 17 release of their third album Black Dog Barking.
“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,” the band said in a statement.
It remains to be seen whether this is the Airbourne album that lives up to the band’s (largely self-generated) hype.
