AC/DC
Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC quickly became synonymous with raw, high-energy rock and roll. With their powerful guitar riffs, thunderous rhythms, and electrifying stage presence, the band carved out a distinct identity that would come to define hard rock. From the start, their mission was clear: to deliver unrelenting, no-frills rock that hit hard and left a lasting impact.
​
The band’s breakthrough came with albums like High Voltage (1975) and Let There Be Rock (1977), showcasing Angus Young’s blistering guitar solos and Bon Scott’s charismatic vocals. Their global success skyrocketed with Highway to Hell (1979), but tragedy struck in 1980 with the sudden passing of Scott. Determined to carry on, AC/DC recruited Brian Johnson as their new frontman and released Back in Black that same year, an album that would become one of the best-selling records of all time.
Over the decades, AC/DC released a string of iconic albums, including For Those About to Rock, The Razor’s Edge, and Black Ice, solidifying their place as one of the most successful and enduring rock bands in history. Known for their energetic live performances, they filled stadiums worldwide, delivering fan favorites like “Thunderstruck,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” and “T.N.T.” with unrelenting power and precision.
​
With a career spanning 50 years, AC/DC remains a symbol of rock and roll’s rebellious spirit. Their 2020 release Power Up proved they are as relevant and electrifying as ever, honoring Malcolm Young’s legacy while thrilling new and longtime fans alike. AC/DC’s timeless sound and commitment to their craft ensure their place among the greatest rock bands of all time.
