Review by Phil Rozier for MPM
The rock music world is moving at such a pace right now, I can barely keep up! Just a few weeks ago, Airbourne were absolutely smashing it on the main stage at Eddfest.
In the blazing sun, the ‘beer can opened on head’ was a cool additive to the ‘riding the shoulders of security through the crowd’. It’s what you expect from an Airbourne show. Raucaus, outrageous, aussie rock fun. You simply can’t not like an Airbourne show. Classic loud Marhsall driven riffs, with a stage presence you feel even if at the back of a 50,000 strong crowd.
And here they are again, riding the wave and keeping up the momentum. At just over 4 mins long, Airbourne have released another single from their nearly released new record. ‘Here She Comes’ opens with a warm riff, akin to nearly ‘Don’t Fear the Reaper’, and then backed up with some supporting whoah whoah whoah’s. An absolute must for a crowd sing along party.
Elements of Angus Young are always present, and this track is no different. Politely singing about, I assume, a very steady and sensible girl, learning her guitar licks, whilst dancing on a bar. Multitasking is something they’re particularly good at down under I’ve been told. With proper chunky overdriven riffs, and a full-on band contributing chorus, the boys have done it again. It’s another song you can ‘see’ as well as hear. Come the second chorus, the break with the steady kick drum has got ‘crowd clap along’ written all over it.
Along with ‘Gutsy’ and ‘Alive After Death’ this new album, set for release in the UK on Sept 4th, is set up to be a 12-track blast of classic Airbourne noise.
