AIRBOURNE Frontman's Illness Forces Spanish Show Cancellations

February 25, 2010

Australian hard rockers AIRBOURNE have reportedly cancelled their shows in Bilbao, Spain on Friday (February 26) and Barcelona, Spain on Sunday (February 27) after frontman Joel O'Keefe came down with pharyngitis (an inflammation of the throat or pharynx). The concerts have since been rescheduled for April 17 and April 18, respectively.

"No Way But The Hard Way", the new video from AIRBOURNE, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed with director (and SUM 41 drummer) Stephen Martin "Steve" Jocz (BOWLING FOR SOUP). The song comes off the band's sophomore album, "No Guts. No Glory.", which is scheduled for release on April 20 via Roadrunner Records. The special-edition digipack version of the CD will include five bonus tracks and a bottle opener.

"No Guts. No Glory." special-edition digipack track listing:

01. Born To Kill
02. No Way But The Hard Way
03. Blonde, Bad and Beautiful
04. Raise The Flag
05. Bottom Of The Well
06. White Line Fever
07. It Ain't Over Till It's Over
08. Steel Town
09. Chewin' The Fat
10. Get Busy Livin'
11. Armed And Dangerous
12. Overdrive
13. Back On The Bottle
14. Loaded Gun (bonus track)
15. My Dynamite Will Blow You Sky High (And Get Ya Moanin' After Midnight) (bonus track)
16. Rattle Your Bones (bonus track)
17. Kickin' It Old School (bonus track)
18. Devil's Child (bonus track)

AIRBOURNE traveled to the Windy City to record "No Guts. No Glory." with producer Johnny K, live and straight to analog tape. Like debut album "Runnin' Wild", "No Guts. No Glory." continues that good time vibe, but ultimately, according to Ryan, the record is about "standing up and going for it, and being a man. There's a tougher element to the album, so to speak." Instead of sleeping every night in a comfortable hotel room bed on the label's dime, the band actually slept in the studio, taking inspiration from Bruce Springsteen and his E STREET BAND, who were known to live in the studio until an album was completed.
