Airbourne is back with the new single “Gutsy,” the Australian rock band’s first new music in six years.
Vocalist/lead guitarist Joel O’Keeffe said: “When the odds are stacked against you and the battle you’re fighting seems impossible to win; when the vultures are circling and the last chance saloon has firmly bolted its doors; when your plane is hitting the runway on a single engine and that engine is on fire; and when the things you hold as precious, the things that define you, are being tested at every turn, then the choices available become a lot clearer: fold or fight … call for help or cry for glory … give in or Get ‘Gutsy‘!”
Produced by Brian Howes, who also worked with the band on 2013’s “Black Dog Barking,” engineered by Canadian studio legend Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rush, Metallica) and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Dayseeker, Bring Me the Horizon, Architects, Machine Gun Kelly), “Gutsy” marks the first new music from Airbourne since its 2019 album, “Boneshaker.”
“We went into this writing and recording session with a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve,” O’Keeffe said. “It was a question of legacy. Let’s create something that can stand the test of time, both in terms of our own story and the hard rock world in general. Let’s plant our flag as close to the summit as possible, and if we have to make that final part of the ascent without oxygen, so be it. No turning back. Get ‘Gutsy’!”
