Airbourne have streamed their previously-unreleased track Money, which will appear on upcoming box set Diamond Cuts. Listen to the song below.
Arriving on September 29th, the eight-disc vinyl collection includes the band’s first three studio albums, a set of B-sides and a documentary DVD, and it’s available for pre-order now.
The band recently told Loudwire, “Money was found covered in piles of dust and reel-to-reel tape. It was part of the recording sessions for No Guts No Glory and for some reason it just didn’t make the album – but hearing it again today, we’re pumped to get it out there. ‘Show me the money’ is a double entendre and we’ll let you figure out what it’s about.”
Airbourne revealed new guitarist Matt “Harri” Harrison earlier this year after former member David Roads bowed out to concentrate on his family business.
The band’s latest tour starts in South America tonight (August 30th) and includes dates across Europe before ending in the UK in November.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!! How the hell did this song not make the No Guts No Glory album?? Such a great song!! Over 7 years just waiting to be discovered, better late than never! I just circled 9/29 on my calendar, Diamond Cuts! Now, I need a beer! Cheers!! (Airbourne always makes me drink!) 😉
I’ve never heard a song from Airbourne until I listened to this song Dana posted. If this song is indicative of their catalog, they appear to be a very AC/DC inspired band, vocally and musically….just plug the guitars straight into the amps and create the magic of rock and roll!! I’m gonna have to check these guys out!!
Hi Rattle,
I have posted many stories about Airbourne on the site, as I am a big fan.
I sometimes get flack, because they are HEAVILY influenced by AC/DC (hey, at least they are Australian) and derivative, but I don’t care. All of their albums are great, but I suggest starting with Runnin’ Wild and Black Dog Barking.
Here are links to some of the stories that I posted on the site. They appear from oldest to newest:

Rattle, where ya been, bro? You don’t know what you’ve been missing! Dana turned me on to Airbourne about 4 years ago, and I haven’t turned them off since! Runnin’ Wild and Black Dog Barking are their best albums, but No Guts No Glory and Breakin’ Outta Hell are really good as well. I usually don’t pay attention to new bands, but I’m glad Dana does, otherwise like you, I probably still wouldn’t have ever given them a listen, and man am I glad I did! I love the fact that they sound like AC/DC, straight up, straight ahead no bullsh-t rock ‘n’ roll! And if you’re looking for a good buzz, (whether you’re drinking or not) 😉 they’re your band! I can’t wait to hear all their unreleased material, especially if it’s as good as this new song, well, new old song! Cheers, Rattle, LIVE IT UP! 🙂
I have heard of Airbourne, but never paid them much attention because AC/DC were still out there kicking ass! Why do I need a carbon copy of AC/DC, when the original is still going strong? But, since AC/DC looks like they may have finally called it quits, I may have to give these guys a chance! This song, plus the other songs I have heard, definitely fit the bill!
Keith, it’s called passing the torch, my friend. And I can’t think of anybody better for AC/DC to pass it to than their protege, Airbourne!
Dana, thank you very much for posting these links. I really enjoyed the songs and the videos. Just straight ahead, good ol’ fashioned rock and roll I liked that they played Explorer guitars and the wall of stacked Marshall amps in the background of some of the videos.
I already preordered this box set on CD, and I also ordered the Breaking Outta Hell album, and I’m really looking forward to getting them. Dana thank you for brining this rock n roll band to my attention, or may have never found out about them. :o)
I really enjoy the AC/DC sound. I’ll add Airbourne to the other AC/DC sounding bands I enjoy, such as Rose Tattoo, Krokus, and Angel City.
Doug, I may have been asleep to have never had Airbourne appear on my radar, but Dana sure has awakened me!
My pleasure, Rattle,
As always please share you thoughts, and opinions, once you receive the releases. Most importantly, crank ’em up and enjoy.
D 🙂
I’m sorry….(really I am…) but. a box set? of Airbourne? You guys are acting like this is some Holy Grail of rock and roll, as if they figured out Chuck Berry’s secret code…(picture Jim Mora) a box set? are kiddin’ me? you want to listen to their box set?
That’s right, Shannon, “It’s All For Rock N’ Roll!” Lighten up, clown, it’s our “Money,” see, and we can spend it any way we want to! Don’t be a party pooper! Besides, somebody gotta “Stand Up For Rock ‘n’ Roll!” 😉 G’day, mate, cheers!
I would like them better if they were loansharks and did this in their spare time…
Shannon, why you being a hater? I know box sets can sometimes be “money grabs”, but for a “late comer” new Airbourne fan, this is a perfect opportunity to get their first three albums (plus extras) with one simple purchase. I’m anxious to get it, and i’m thankful that this box set is being released. Yeah, Airbourne are early in their careers and don’t have the tenure of AC/DC, and a box set release could be perceived as a little premature, but so what? if this is an opportunity for them to get a few bucks to sustain as a band, as well as attract more fans, then more power to them.
I think this Airbourne box set is gonna be cool and I’m looking forward to getting, just like I’m gonna get the limited edition box set of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” when it is released later this year.
Rattlehead, it’s just because of the….accumulative nature of their songs…but, I appreciate your explanation because you set out that it’s the packaging, the aura, the rock and rollness of the thing that grabs ya too. I just purchased five Metallica vinyls from their site along with a long sleeved shirt..and I was very stoked to have that waiting at my door….I’ll have to check into that Master box set. 🙂
If AC⚡️DC were to hang it up I’ll be satisfied if Airbourne fill the gap great band
