Airbourne Returns with “Gutsy”
After a six-year hiatus since their last project, “Boneshaker”, the Australian rock band Airbourne is back with a vengeance, unveiling their latest single titled “Gutsy.” This electrifying track is infused with raw energy and addresses the profound themes of survival and resilience.
A Rallying Cry
In an intense exploration of adversity, Joel O’Keeffe, the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist, articulates the essence of the song: “When the odds are stacked against you and the battle seems unwinnable; when the vultures circle overhead and hope appears lost; when you’re left with a single engine on a burning plane; and when your core values are constantly tested, the choices become stark: fight or flight.” He emphasizes the importance of courage in the face of despair.
Production and Inspiration
“Gutsy” is described as a rallying anthem for fans and was produced by Brian Howes alongside legendary producer Mike Fraser, known for his work with giants like AC/DC and Metallica. The mixing was handled by Zakk Cervini, whose credits include collaborations with Bring Me The Horizon and Machine Gun Kelly. While no details about a forthcoming album have been revealed, the band aims to create music that stands the test of time.
Setting Ambitious Goals
“Our approach to this writing and recording session was driven by a clear vision,” Joel shares. “We wanted to create something that would resonate with our legacy and the history of hard rock. We aim to plant our flag at the peak; even if that means making the ascent without oxygen, we’re committed. No turning back. Be Gutsy!”
Upcoming Performances
Airbourne is set to perform in France this summer, hitting stages at notable festivals including Hellfest on June 19, Théâtre de Verdure in Nice on June 23, and 6mic in Aix-en-Provence on June 24. Furthermore, the band has announced plans for a French tour next year, culminating in a performance at the Zénith in Paris on February 21, 2026, likely to support a sixth album.
