What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

AIRBOURNE "runnin' wild" 2008. cd.

to most people outside of Australia AC/DC are the only heavy blues/rock band they know from these pristine shores, but they would be wrong! Australia has produced some fine examples of this style/genre over the years, Stevie Wright of Easybeats fame, Rose Tattoo, Cold Chisel, Angels and to a lesser extent Jet.....and now Airbourne join the list.
Yes, they sound a lot like AC/DC,even down to vocal presentation,but they are not plagarists,nor are they a tribute band, they are just the next/new generation of 'pub rock', the songs are all original but sound vaguely familliar in a fresh way, with rip roaping,fist pumping choruses.
this is one of the best rock bands to emerge,IMO, in the last several years, and hopefully,unlike Jet, manage to have a decent lifespan of more than one good album(this is airbourne's 2nd album, i have not heard the other two)

IF YOU LIKE THE RIFFS OF AC/DC THIS IS ONE ALBUM YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO NOW!
