AC/DC

Sydney, NSW, AU · 1973–present · active
AC/DC built one of rock's most recognizable identities from a few deceptively simple ingredients: Malcolm Young's immovable rhythm guitar, Angus Young's live-wire lead work, a hard-swinging rhythm section, and vocals that turned blues grit into arena command. The Bon Scott era gave the band its streetwise danger on albums such as High Voltage, Let There Be Rock, Powerage, and Highway to Hell, pairing swagger with riffs that sounded stripped to the bone. After Scott's death, Brian Johnson entered for Back in Black, a rare comeback that became a defining hard rock statement rather than a retreat. AC/DC's music is often discussed as simple, but its power depends on discipline: spaces left open, chords hit with precision, drums locked to the riff, and choruses built for collective release. The band has influenced heavy metal, hard rock, glam, punk-rooted rock, and countless guitar bands by proving that volume, groove, and ruthless economy can be as commanding as complexity.

All Them Witches

Nashville, TN, US · 2012–present · active
Nashville's All Them Witches conjure a hypnotic blend of psychedelic rock, blues, and doom that feels both ancient and urgently modern. Since forming in 2012, the band has built a devoted following through relentless touring and albums like 'Dying Surfer Meets His Maker' and 'Nothing as the Ideal,' which showcase their gift for expansive jams that can shift from whispered menace to thundering crescendo. Their improvisational live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most captivating bands in modern heavy psych.
