AC/DC

AC/DC is an iconic Australian hard rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Commonly regarded as pioneers of heavy metal and hard rock, the band's music is defined by raw, high-voltage energy, straightforward three-chord guitar riffs, and powerful, screeching vocals. Over their legendary career, the band has gone through significant line-up changes, most notably following the tragic death of lead singer Bon Scott in 1980, who was succeeded by Brian Johnson. Despite this devastating loss, the band went on to release Back in Black, which became the second best-selling album of all time worldwide, cementing their place as one of the most successful and influential groups in music history.

With a signature style centered on Angus Young's energetic schoolboy-uniform-wearing stage presence and Malcolm Young's driving rhythm guitar, AC/DC has scored a phenomenal run of chart-topping rock anthems. Hits like 'Highway to Hell,' 'Back in Black,' 'You Shook Me All Night Long,' 'Thunderstruck,' and 'T. N. T.' have become universal anthems of rebellion and high energy. Their sound is characterized by a stubborn, uncompromising commitment to pure, unadulterated rock and roll, eschewing musical trends in favor of massive, foot-stomping grooves.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, AC/DC has sold over 200 million records globally. Their legendary music has been extensively featured across countless films, TV shows, and video games to inject raw intensity and power into cinematic moments. From the Iron Man franchise (which famously used 'Shoot to Thrill' and 'Back in Black' to define Tony Stark's persona) to the hilarious tennis court showdown in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids (which utilized 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'), AC/DC's tracks remain the ultimate soundtrack for high-octane action and rebellion.
