If AC/DC aren't cranking out albums fast enough for you and Rhino Bucket don't get your engine revin,' then check out the new Airbourne album 'No Guts, No Glory.' The second disc by these Aussie/DC obsessives is a feast of sleazy, slammin' rhythms, jagged flesh-cleaving guitars and howled melodic vocals that sound like Angus-and-company on a good day -- which is pretty much any day they pick up their instruments.

Okay, Airbourne don't have a hell of a lot of originality to offer. In addition to AC/DC, maybe there's a little bit of Rose Tattoo and a splash of Black Sabbath, but with 'No Guts, No Glory' they're back in black and ready to kill like that runaway 18-wheeler in the movie 'Maximum Overdrive,' which, of course, was chock full of AC/DC tuneage.

This fall, Airbourne will be playing the second stage of the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. The tour also features Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Stone Sour, Hellyeah, Halestorm and more. The morning after a long night at the bar, we caught up with guitarist and vocalist Joel O'Keefe to ask him about the creation of 'No Guts, No Glory,' his love of AC/DC and why his band accepts no way but the hard way.
