Airbourne

Airbourne is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of The Rolling Stones, Bullet for My Valentine, AC/DC, The Angels and Iron Maiden. Those roots explain a lot about how Airbourne arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as AC/DC, The Dead Daisies, Slash, Danko Jones and Black Stone Cherry, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into We Are Harlot, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Airbourne, reaching back through The Rolling Stones and forward to We Are Harlot.
