Airbourne Rockers flying high

The title of Airbourne's new CD, the pointedly punctuated No Guts. No Glory? might be only half-right.

"I wouldn't say I'm particularly gutsy," chuckles a groggy Joel O'Keefe, singer-guitarist of the AC/DC-inspired riff-rock foursome from Australia. "I guess the gutsiest thing I ever did was climb to the top of the scaffolding at Wacken fest in Germany. Then I monkey-barred out over a 100-metre drop and just hung there by me arms, kicking my legs for about a minute or so. If I had let go, I would be dead.

"We also did something in New Zealand once that involved jumping off a waterfall or something like that. So that's pretty gutsy. Especially since normally, I have a thing about heights."

Fair enough. Give O'Keefe and his bandmates: guitarist David Roads, bassist Justin Street and Joel's little bro Ryan O'Keefe on drums - points for bravery. Or at least rock 'n' roll lunacy.

As for the glory? Well, they're still working on that. And working almost as hard as they rock. Since the release of their debut album Runnin' Wild in 2007, the Melbourne-based outfit has been on the move, criss-crossing the globe both under their own steam, and as the opening act for everyone from umlaut-metal kings such as Motörhead and Mötley Crüe, to rock royalty like The Rolling Stones.

But they still can't get on the radio back home, admits O'Keefe

 

 


Discover My Dying Bride

My Dying Bride is a Doom metal band that was at the forefront of the English Doom movement in the early 90s that included such bands as the former label mates Anathema and Paradise Lost. Formed in West Yorkshire, England, they are known for their slow yet extremely heavy riffs and haunting lyrics. Relentlessly slow, thick, heavy chords allied with remarkably morose lyrics make My Dying Bride a unique proposition and certainly a challenge to the listener. Since its debut, the Halifax based band has remained steadfast in an unwavering pursuit of extreme Metal despite, ironically enjoying the rewards of an international fan base despite the noncommercial nature of its output.

The initial formation numbered vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, guitarists Andrew Craighan and Calvin Robertshaw plus drummer Rick Miah, who founded the band in 1990. The band released the 'Towards The Sinister' demo, noted for its complete absence of bass, recorded over two days in late November at Revolver Studios with Tim Walker manning the production desk. They followed this with the 'God Is Alone' 7" single, restricted to 1000 copies, on the French Listenable label, again utilising both Tim Walker and Revolver Studios in May 1991. The band signed to budding Yorkshire label Peaceville Records to release the ?Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrum' EP in 1992, debuting new bassist Ade Jackson in the process.

 Ain't No Grave - New Posthumous Album by Johnny Cash

The lyrics on the title track of Johnny Cash's new posthumous album are prophetic. "Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down," Johnny Cash sings in a haunting baritone.

He was right. Seven years after his death, the American music icon is as relevant as he was in the late 1960s and '70s, when his prison concerts and TV show made him a symbol of American popular culture.

"American VI: Ain't No Grave" is presumably the final installment in the "American" series produced by Rick Rubin. Backed by simple guitar-based arrangements, Cash puts his stamp on songs contemplating life, death and the afterlife.

The album's tempo and tone are consistently slow and somber. Throughout, however, there's an affirmation of life and the afterlife - a testament to the singer's faith. "O death, where is thy sting" O grave, where is thy victory"  Oh life, you are a shining path and hope springs eternal just over the rise when I see my redeemer beckoning me," Cash sings on "I Corinthians 15:55," his only songwriting credit on the album.

Other standout tracks include covers of Sheryl Crowe's "Redemption Day," Tom Paxton's "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" and Kris Kristofferson's love song "For The Good Times."

There's nothing on "Ain't No Grave" that we haven't heard before. It's just 10 more solid numbers to add to the prolific Johnny Cash library.
