18 April 2017 (TORONTO, ON) – In advance of their European summer festival dates, Australian rockers Airbourne will release a new single via Spinefarm Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Titled “It’s All For Rock N’ Roll” and taken from the band’s current album, Breakin’ Outta Hell, the song will be available as a special 12” vinyl release for Record Store Day (Saturday, April 22). This limited edition package will come complete with gatefold sleeve, bronze vinyl, plus fold-out poster, and is dedicated to Lemmy & Motorhead, as is the accompanying clip – a heartfelt tribute video (featuring Motorhead’s legendary ‘Bomber’ stage prop) released by Airbourne back in February. Watch it here. Airbourne: new line-up, same gang, same attitude.
Do or Die, Never quit, All for one, One for all.
Raise the flag for Rock ‘n’ Roll.
With the launch of the new single, Airbourne are
pleased to confirm that guitarist and their longtime staunch mate Matt
‘Harri’ Harrison has now joined their ranks; this comes in the wake of
longstanding band member David Roads’ decision to depart the world of
rock ‘n’ roll for (quite literally) green pastures.David has been a part of the ever-growing Airbourne story across four studio albums and extensive global touring, helping to establish the band (formed by brothers Joel & Ryan O’Keeffe in Warrnambool, Regional Victoria Australia 2003, and completed by bassist Justin Street) as one of the hard rock domain’s most potent live outfits – a true force of nature with Breakin’ Outta Hell, released in September 2016, achieving their highest ever week-one chart positions worldwide.
“Roadsy has always loved rural
Australia, his second passion being his family farm, and now he has
decided to return to his roots to work alongside his father in the
family business. We wish him well on his future endeavors. As the old
saying goes, ‘you can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t
take the country out of the boy’. We say, good on ya mate, well-played
and good luck! Now to the future, and its all guns blazing foot to the
floor! In the coming months, we look forward to introducing you to
our new Airbourne Brother, he’s our long time staunch mate Harri ‘The
Riff Doctor’ Harrison. Possessing a gifted Rock’n’Roll right hand motor
he already ‘fits in like a well-greased piston into a V8’ and we are all
pumped to be bringing his powerful locomotive-like rhythm with us to
rock the summer festivals! Cheers and see ya soon rockers!” – Joel, Ryan & Streety.
“Many thanks to all the fans. It has
been an absolute pleasure rocking out with you guys over the years. It
was great to be a part of this wild Airbourne ride! Cheers!” – David
