AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973. It was founded by rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Malcolm Yount and lead guitarist Angus Young. The band's current lineup comprises with founding member and songwriter Angus, rhythm guitarist Stevie Yount, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd and long-time lead vocalist Brian Johnson.
Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal, but the band calls it simply "rock and roll". AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the band's name after their sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on the AC adapter of a sewing machine. "AC/DC" is an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct current" electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances of their music. "AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as "Acca Dacca" in Australia. The AC/DC band name is stylised with a high voltage sign separating the "AC" and "DC" and has been used on all studio albums, with the exception of the international version of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
