https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/9483882/acdc-interview-power-up-album/Through decades, deaths and disasters, AC/DC keeps thundering on.
Forty-seven years along, and with the closest thing possible to their original lineup, the rockers on Friday (Nov. 13) are releasing Power Up, their first album in six years.
Its also the first since the 2017 death of Malcolm Young, who founded the band in Sydney, Australia in 1973 with his little brother, Angus. Power Up is dedicated to the elder brother and is shot through with his spirit and songwriting.
We all felt Malcolm around us, he was there. Were not spiritual type people, but, boy, oh boy, lead singer Brian Johnson, 73, told The Associated Press in an interview via Zoom from his home in Sarasota, Florida. Malcolm was a very strong character in real life, and him passing away wasnt gonna stop that. He was there, everywhere, and I think you can tell it on the record.
All 12 tracks are co-written by Malcolm and Angus Young, selected by the younger Young from a trove of unused songs that piled up during the bands long life.
