Airbourne are celebrating the holidays with a new single titled “Christmas Bonus.” You can find a NSFW animated video for that track below:
Frontman Joel O’Keeffe commented:
“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!”
