Airbourne has announced the release of their self-titled studio album, set for September 4 via Spine as a Spinefarm Records release.
The album features co-written tracks with Bryan Adams and Mutt Lange, including the single "Here She Comes," which was developed during recording sessions at Music Farm Studio in Byron Bay, Australia.
The band credits the song's inspiration to a tropical storm that interrupted production, with drummer Ryan O’Keeffe recalling a tree falling near the studio and threatening to crush bassist Justin Street.
The album marks a deliberate effort by the band to deliver a comprehensive statement of hard rock heritage, with all members emphasizing its significance as the best work in the group’s catalog.
The release includes tracks such as "Gutsy," "Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)," "Kid In A Candy Store," and "Here She Comes." The recording process was shaped by challenges including extreme weather, dangerous wildlife, and uncooperative vintage equipment.
Airbourne’s new album is produced by Brian Howes, engineered by Mike Fraser, mixed by Zakk Cervini, and mastered by Ted Jensen.
The band will tour Europe and beyond in support of the album, with shows scheduled from August 10 to September 31 across multiple countries, including Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
The tour includes major festivals such as Summer Breeze, Reload Festival, Motocultor Festival, and V And B Festival.
The full album will be available for pre-order in digital format through Airbourne’s official link and in physical copies via diggers.store.
