Description:
HIS SINGLES AND ALBUMS ARE APPROACHING A COMBINED SALES TALLY OF NEARLY 1.5 MILLION UNITS
SHANNON NOLL IS THE ONLY MALE SINGER TO CHALK UP TEN CONSECUTIVE TOP 10 ARIA CHART SINGLES
Shannon Noll's everyman appeal lies in his honesty. He possesses the knack of striking a chord with legions of music fans, jacking into a pure emotion that's both his own and instantly relatable. Fourth album, A Million Suns, stays faithful to his classic rock roots while ramping up the pace like never before.
Three years since Shannon hit No.3 in the ARIA album chart with Turn It Up, and despite having clocked up 10 consecutive top 10 ARIA chart singles, the country boy from Condobolin, NSW remains unaffected by success and committed to his hard-working rock ethic. "I'm a knockabout bloke, not so different to most people," he points out. "It shows that the average bloke can achieve his dreams if he tries."
Partnering with songwriters Adam Reily, Josh Bidmead and Brooke McClymont, with producers Lindsay Rimes and Bryon Jones, he's penned an album stacked full of solid rock songs, deliberately geared towards a storming live show.
First single 'Switch Me On' sees Shannon hooking up with Good Charlotte's Benji Madden to write a driving missive of redemption through love. In a fortuitous example of life coming full circle, Shannon used to play Good Charlotte songs when earning his stripes in a cover band many moons ago. He again drew on his dive-bar band days for 'Til We Say So', a track that's pumped with fighting talk. "I'm a massive Living End fan and we used to close our set with 'Prisoner of Society'," he recalls. "This has a similar message: 'It aint over 'til we say so'. The bouncers would say, 'Thanks a lot, mate, now you've fired them all up just as we've got to kick them out!'"
Shannon still to this day will busk in the street with his brothers when the urge takes them, determined to keep that grassroots joy alive. "I tell it straight up and down when I'm writing songs," he says. "I'm not the sort of person who'll write something that means 15 things to 15 different people. Music's about making you feel something, and even more importantly, making you feel that someone else out there feels the same way."
