Airbag are a 3-piece Spanish band, formed in Estepona (Málaga) in 1998. With great sense of humour and a massive crowd of fans in Spain and South America they have became a cult band. They started with a powerful Surf-Punk sound from the Ramones school of talent, and later have evolved to great Power-Pop act.
What can we expect from a new Airbag album? A lot of emotion, since the Norwegians' progressive rock , melancholic and refined in the style of Pink Floyd, triggers a flood of emotions among its followers…
Prepare to embark on an auditory journey like no other as Norwegian prog-rock maestros Airbag unleash their highly anticipated sixth studio album, "The Century of the Self." Showcasing their trademark fusion of mellow introspection and dynamic energy, from the mesmerizing depths of "Dysphoria" to the haunting crescendo of "Tyrants and Kings," each track captivates with irresistible vocal hooks and virtuosic lead guitar work that has become synonymous with the Airbag sound. As the album unfolds, listeners are taken on a voyage through introspection and intensity, from the introspective balladry of "Awakening" to the foreboding depths of the single "Erase."
Airbag’s 2020 conceptual outing A Day at the Beach features six new songs recorded during autumn and winter of 2019-20. Inspired by the resurgence of 1980s electronica, new wave and movie scores, Airbag has created a powerful sound combining ethereal soundscapes with the band's signature guitar driven Progressive Rock.
Norwegian Airbag's "Identity" gives us the sound of rich classic progressive rock blended with scenic soundscapes, epic guitars and soulful vocals.
Artists like Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, No-Man and Talk Talk definitely inspired Norwegian band Airbag. Their unique sound results in classic prog, symphonic rock with scenic sound scapes. Their music is introspective and full of atmosphere. "Identity" is a remarkable album that you can listen to repeatedly.
All Rights Removed finds Airbag standing proud as a successor to the prog rock sound first played by the mighty Floyd so many years ago! Album number two carries on in an extremely similar vein, with latter day Floyd being a reference point across the six songs on All Rights Removed, although this time the melancholic moments of early Porcupine Tree, the straight laced Rock/Prog of The Pineapple Thief and even the odd hint of Talk Talk offer a little more deviation. Assured yet sprawling, the six songs on this album are not afraid to make a confident stab into epic territory, although there's always a thinly veiled commercial edge lurking beneath the Gilmouresque guitar slides and the moody keyboardian Rick Wrightisms.
