PREMIERE: Phil Rudd - Repo Man

Get your exclusive taste of the impending work from the renowned AC/DC drummer here!

More Phil Rudd Phil Rudd

We're almost at the end of the working week, so if you need a little sonic pick-me-up to help see you through, we at theMusic.com.au have just the ticket for you: an exclusive premiere listen of Repo Man, the brand new single from the nationally treasured cranium of legendary AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd.

Repo Man marks the first taste of material from Rudd's forthcoming solo LP Head Job, due for release on August 29 via Universal, and finds the career skinsmith in typically hard-edged, rockin'-yet-refined form.

The song inarguably draws on his long and storied experience with the iconic Aussie rock outfit, but Rudd nonetheless stands tall on his own as a songwriter and performer, as the track so capably demonstrates throughout its relentless, driven three-and-a-half-minute trajectory.

Rudd's been a busy man of late — not only has he had commitments surrounding his impending solo album, but he and his AC/DC bandmates, sans the ailing Malcolm Young, recently wrapped work on their fifteenth studio full-length album.
