This could be a trend

Frank De Blase here, your rock 'n' roll barometer, divining rod, and all-around loudmouth, here to say that not since the Hoodoo Gurus have I been so jazzed about a band from Australia. I spent some time down under recently and I'm telling you, rock 'n' roll is alive and well and a viable influence in pop music on the radio there. Sure there's the bubblegum and the flufff and the glitz and the bullshit, but there are bands like Jet and  Airborne --- a Warranbool, Queensland, quartet that sounds a lot like another set of raunchy Aussies, AC/DC. America's gonna get a dose soon as the lads have just signed a $2 million deal with Capitol Records. Rock 'n' roll back on the radio....at last. It's funny how America, rock 'n' roll's fatherland, has to be continually reawakened by acts from around the globe. You haven't heard 'em yet, but you will. Airborne, Jet, Wolfmother, The Living End...this could be a trend.
