For  Airways“rather die trying to make it than die not trying to make it! Do or do not, there is no try” is the band’s ethos. Perfectly in line with their ethos, the story of Airways is one about taking chances and risks.

The story of how Airways formed is an unusual one. Singer/Songwriter Jake Daniels, who also happened to be staying in the same house while on tour as a drummer.  The two hit if off famously and at the end of the trip, half-serious, half in jest, Jake invited him out to the UK to help start a band.  Two months later, Brian left his home in Chicago and was standing on Jake’s doorstep in Peterborough, UK.  Add in Jake’s long-time, hometown friend Alex Ruggiero on guitar and Birmingham musician Jamie Reyonlds on bass, and Airways was born.

At their live shows they ooze confidence while their fan-base is growing steadily from people who’ve stumbled across them to the more avid hardcore followers. Just the right amount of cockiness required to create a band, Airways are set to seek and destroy every venue they come across, picking up new fans and plaudits along the way, all the while knowing life is about taking risks and chances…and they’re okay if they die trying.
