AC/DC have just released the first single off their upcoming album, Rock or Bust and is true ROCK N ROLL, AC/DC style! I picked it up this morning on iTunes and have been rockin out to it all morning! You can pick it up on iTunes here. Take a listen to Play Ball here:
The album, Rock or Bust is due out on December 2nd, 2014 and you can pre-order it now. This album will be the first that features Angus and Malcolm’s nephew, Stevie Young as he replaces founding member Malcolm Young who has retired due to illness. Here is the statement issued last month from AC/DC on their website:
‘Rock or Bust,’ the highly anticipated new studio album from AC/DC, will be released December 2, 2014. Featuring 11 new tracks and recorded in Spring 2014 at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC, ‘Rock or Bust’ finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser.
“Rock or Bust” is the first AC/DC album in the band’s 41 year history without founding member Malcolm Young on the recordings. Earlier this year AC/DC released a statement explaining that due to illness, Malcolm would be taking a break from the band. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Malcolm’s condition, he will not be returning to the band. AC/DC will undertake a world tour in support of ‘Rock or Bust’ in 2015. Stevie Young, nephew of founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, plays rhythm guitar on ‘Rock or Bust’ and will accompany the band on tour.
Starting September 27, Turner Sports will provide fans a sneak peek of the new track ‘Play Ball’ as part of the 2014 Major League Baseball Postseason campaign. Check back here for more.
We will continue to keep you updated and we wish all the best wishes and good health to Malcolm. Malcolm was instrumental in making an influence in so many musicians lives and will continue to inspire a whole new generation of rock n rollers!
I will leave you with a video of the last time we saw AC/DC perform here in the Bay Area.
