Airbourne: 'No Guts, No Glory' artwork unveiled
Australian rockers Airbourne will release their second album, "No Guts, No Glory", on February 23, 2010 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was recorded in Chicago with noted producer Johnny K (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, Staind) and was mixed by Mike Fraser at Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. The band relocated from its shared home in Warrnambool and moved into K's spacious studio to record the album. Check out the CD cover artwork below.
Frontman Joel O'Keefe says: "Working with Johnny was great; he's one of the boys. We basically just set up all the gear, chucked a few mics around and went for it! Good times!" Brother and drummer Ryan confirms the precarious microphone placement: "With this album, we threw the mics all over the building, left the doors and windows open and pressed record!"
When asked what the record is about, Joel O'Keefe laughs, "It's about rock 'n' roll, women, fighting, and drinking!"
"No Guts, No Glory" follows up the band's 2008-released debut, "Runnin' Wild", which went on to sell upwards of 250,000 units worldwide and earned the band heaps of critical accolades.
As previously reported, Airbourne has been added to Mötley Crüe's "The Dead Of Winter" Canadian tour in January/February. Also appearing on the bill as "special guests" is The Joe Perry Project.
Airbourne's previously announced February U.K. headline tour has been delayed due to an unforseen scheduling conflict. Originally at the start of a full European tour, the U.K. dates will move to the end, and kick off in the U.K. instead now from March 29. This now means that the U.K. fans will have a chance to hear the album well before the band hits the stage in the U.K.
All tickets bought for the original "No Guts, No Glory" dates remain valid.
