Have You Heard: Air Force Kid

Answered by: Matt Turner

How did you get together? Years ago, Brad and I would jam out Nirvana covers in the storage space behind an old café. Eventually we found Cam and Josh through online ads.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? High temp rock n’ roll.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? Pearl Jam! No... Led Zeppelin! Hang on... Queen. Smashing Pumpkins, but only in 1993. Wait... what was the question?

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? On behalf of the band I’m gonna have to say The Wall – Pink Floyd, because a) it’s amazing and b) it loops perfectly. “Isn’t this where... we came in?” You can’t get sick of that!

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? There’s something special about taking an old van loaded with music gear and three of your best mates and driving from Sydney to Brisbane at four in the morning. It was our first interstate gig and I’ll never forget it.

Why should people come and see your band? When we play music, we want you guys to feel what we feel. We don’t hold back. Also guitar solos.

When and where for your next gig? We’re hitting up the Lewisham Hotel on 20 Sep with our friends Swing From A Streetlight. It’s gonna be huge!
