I stumbled upon this band at a listening station in HMV. I took the album home, where my husband informed me that they have a big radio hit. Since I rarely listen to the radio, I had no idea.

Anyway, this band is a total throwback to 1980's arena rock. They sound a lot like AC/DC with some Judas Priest thrown in. Lots of heavy guitar with catchy riffs and loud vocals. The vocals are a little grating at times, but overall this is a solid album...even if it sometimes feels like its 20 or 30 years too late.

I can picture Airbourne playing in large arena's with an elaborate light show and lots of flash-pots. For now they're playing the club scene. I would love to see them live. If their stage energy is anything like the energy that you feel while listening to the album, it would be a great show.

Has anyone else heard this album yet?
