Australian hard rockers AIRBOURNE give fans – naughty and nice alike – a seasonal surprise with ‘Christmas Bonus’, their spirited new single, unwrapped today.
Not only does the track contain a guitar solo cunningly constructed to unleash good cheer, even at a distance, but it also features references to the first ‘Die Hard’ movie, surely the most explosive festive flick of them all.
AIRBOURNE frontman Joel O’Keeffe comments: “Christmas is a time to rock ‘n’ roll! I remember being a little kid, and I really didn’t like carols at all — I thought they were annoying. I just wanted to listen to AC/DC and BLACK SABBATH. But then I got this new AC/DC record, ‘The Razor’s Edge’, and there was this song, ‘Mistress For Christmas’. I had no idea what it meant, but that’s what I was playing for Christmas that year. Rockin’ out at Christmas is one of the best times of the year to rock out — let’s all headbang around the Christmas tree!”
