first 3 albums. Ryan gave us the
lowdown; “Nettwerk had bought
our back catalogue, so basically,
everything except Breaking Out
of Hell. So, they acquired a bunch
of our old tracks, some that were
never released and they just
said ‘look these are really good
songs that the public should have
access to’, so we said ‘well if you
guys think so’. So we made the
Dimond Cuts, which is basically
everything you may not have.”
Ryan continued “it’s a good little
Christmas package that thing...”
and we couldn’t agree more!
Wrapping things up so he can go
get ready for another headline
show Ryan told us; “This tour has
been really good, we are going to
be a bit sad finishing up, but after
this we go home and we make
another record! We are gonna
go home, have a bit of a Christ-
mas and then we are going to try
working straight away in Decem-
ber, writing. But it’s one of those
things of ‘how long is a piece of
string’, so we will just begin it, get
our heads down. We already have
quite a lot of riffs from this tour,
and there are heaps stored from
previous tours, so we are gon-
na start playing and then start
sifting. Then talking about where
we are gonna record it, might be
Australia, might in Nashville. But
we will see.
It’s safe to say that Airbourne
have been one of the most excit-
ing bands o n the scene this side
of the year with one fan saying
“The Breakin’ Out Of Hell Tour
was the best show I have ever
seen in my life”. Perhaps mod-
ern-day debauchery is simply
being able to let go, an escape
for many from the regimented
9-5. Airbourne have no plans of
slowing down anytime soon so
we look forward to seeing them
again in 2018, no doubt at a few
festivals for our much-needed
freedom fix!
