“At this time, with the pandemic, hopefully it gives people a few hours of toe-tapping enjoyment.”Īccording to a lengthy profile, the new songs to be featured on Power Up were mainly recorded in summer 2018 and with some additional work in early 2019.

Young had been the only original member to keep the band alive during the last four years. “It’s been a long, long road, but it’s good that everyone came on board and we get to pump out a bit of new rock & roll for the world,” guitarist Angus Young told Rolling Stone in a new profile published this week. The hard-hitting new single hears the longtime bandmates pick up right where they left off, and Johnson hasn’t lost any power from that trademark high-pitched vocal style that made AC/DC radio mainstays and arena rock icons throughout the 1980s and 90s. The lead single shared on Wednesday, entitled “Shot In The Dark”, highlights the return of singer Brian Johnson along with drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams, who have all been away from the band for one reason or another since 2016. After months of speculation of a possible reunion which first began to emerge back in January, AC/DC have returned with a new single from their full Back In Black era lineup (sans the late Malcolm Young) which will appear on the hard rock band’s first album since 2014, Power Up, due out next month on November 13th.
