AC/DC

AC/DC, a band born in Sydney, Australia, in 1973, has always defined its own sound simply as "rock and roll," although many label it as hard rock, blues rock, or heavy metal. Their beginnings were in the Australian music scene of the 70s, a period known as the third wave of rock, where a rawer style of blues rock, popularly called "pub rock," was brewing. From the beginning, brothers Angus Young on lead guitar and Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar were the driving force behind this proposal. The energy of their live performances quickly became noticeable, partly thanks to Ang's distinctive school uniform
