Results for AC/DCAC/DC's Angus Young was 15-years-old when he started playing in the band, and it was his sister who suggested he wear his school uniform on stage. That look became the band's trademark, ironically colliding with their otherwise bad boy reputation developed and nurtured by vocalist Bon Scott, himself happily and defiantly maladjusted until his death by drink in 1980. Formed by Scottish transplant to Australia Malcolm Young in 1973 and including Young's younger brother Angus and Colin Burgess, Dave Evans and Larry Van Knedt, the band's use of monster power chords with energy-building restraint soon toppled the Aussie market and prompted their move to England to test their material to a broader audience. Brian Johnson stepped in to replace Scott and Back in Black was an instant classic that helped assuage the grief over Scott's loss. Breaks for much needed rest and lineup changes punctuate AC/DC's history, but the band has always been a major live-concert draw, pulling out the stops from "For Those About to Rock We Salute You," "The Razor's Edge" and "Ballbreaker" and keeping alive their reputation of hard-heavy-metal-arena-rocking brutes.“more

South London’s Art Brut is a modernized manifestation of Nietzsche’s Ecce Homo. At their gig on Monday night, members Ian Catskilkin and Jasper “Jeff” Future—taking heed from frontman Eddie Argos—two-guitar attacked the impersonal, aimless gob that much of contemporary music has become. Like a tribute to the Clash’s “Red Angel Dragnet”—with Argos speaking his lyrics over Catskilkin and Future’s winding chords—Art Brut asked, “What does it mean? What the fuck does any of it mean?”

"A road-warriors-for-life record, slower than anything they've ever done—with some acoustic and harmonica even—but still up-tempo, if not at a breakneck speed."
