Every day at 4:30 on Radio Nova, Pat Courtenay brings you seriously addictive music news and here are the stories that matter today.
The music world is excited as AC/DC release their brand new album tomorrow. ‘Power Up’ is the 17th studio album from the rock icons. The new album will be released via Columbia Records.
They have released the second single from the album, a belter called ‘Realize’. Speaking to Radio.com, guitarist Angus Young said of the album “a lot of them were ideas that they knew were good AC/DC ideas at the time, but they just never got around to getting them on record”.
Former guitarist Malcolm Young sadly passed away in 2017 due to his battle with dementia. Despite this, Young has writing credits on every song on ‘Power Up’. Frontman Brian Johnson said in an interview with NME that “most of ‘Power Up’ came from ideas before (2008 album) ‘Black Ice’, when Malcolm and Angus would sit together for five days a week and run through ideas”
The new album sees Young, Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams who came out of retirement to record the album, drummer Phil Young and guitarist Stevie Young firing on all cylinders again. The band have teamed up with producer Brendan O’Brien who produced the AC/DC albums ‘Black Ice’ and ‘Rock or Bust’.
