Guitarist David Roads from Aussie rockers AIRBOURNE spoke with Mitch Lafon from the Dropping The Needle podcast about the band's new album Black Dog Barking, making albums and the band's future plans.

Black Dog Barking, which was produced by Brian Howes, is the third studio album from Airbourne and features the lead single 'Live It Up'. Hailing from Warrnambool, a small drinking town on the southwestern coast of Victoria, Australia, Airbourne has steadily gained an immense following with their explosive live shows and main stage festival appearances.

“A lot of thought and effort has gone into this record not only by the band, but by the production crew who worked countless hours, seven days a week, even through Christmas and New Year’s Eve to achieve the best possible performances, backed by real undying tones. Now we’re handing it over to you… so crank it up, crack a beer and stick some rock ‘n’ roll in your ear,” said the band.
