Airbourne Black Dog BarkingAre YOU ready to ROCK?!  Airbourne certainly is, and with their third album Black Dog Barking, the band has raised the bar high as far as rock albums in 2013 goes.

While Running Wild put Airbourne on the Rock and Roll map, and No Guts, No Glory proved that the band was the real deal. I believe it will be Black Dog Barking that will bring Airbourne their greatest success yet. Why is that you ask?

Black Dog Barking has not one, but ten songs that could easily be radio singles for Airbourne. Airbourne has managed to load this album with a bunch of killer fist-pumping anthems that are going to please most hard rock fans out there.  Joel O’Keeffe sings, screams and plays his ass off on this album, and I hear some definite growth in his playing as well.

“Ready To Rock”, “Animalize”, and “Live It Up” are my favorites on this record but there isn’t one dud in the bunch.

I spent the extra money for the UK import which has three bonus tracks (Why doesn’t the U.S. get these  ROADRUNNER?!), and I am glad I did. The bonus songs are pretty solid numbers too.

Some may argue that there isn’t one original thing about Black Dog Barking. I say what the album lacks in originality, it makes up for it with pure hard rock awesomeness.  Airbourne is dishing out the best Aussie rock out there right now, and that includes most of the bands that inspired them.  Don’t miss this! You won’t be disappointed!  Look out for Airbourne on the Rock Allegiance Tour coming to major venues later this summer!
