Phil Rudd Releasing "Head Job" Solo Album

After being booted from AC/DC and facing various legal charges, drummer Phil Rudd now returns with solo album "Head Job," due out September 30th. The following press release was also issued:

"As many of you will already know, the release of Phil's solo album was interrupted by some legal issues which saw him under home detention for eight months. With those issues firmly behind him, he is once again free to focus on his music and is incredibly excited about the impending release of 'Head Job' along with his accompanying promotional tour of the UK and Europe at the end of September.

"Described by Malcolm Young, co-founder of AC/DC, as 'the real deal,' Phil Rudd the band's long term drummer, played in several Melbourne bands such as Buster Brown and The Coloured Balls before joining up with the rock giants in 1975.

"Rudd powered the band to superstardom with his dogged consistency and unshakeable backbeat on classics like 'It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock ’N’ Roll)' 'TNT" and 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap', becoming an indelible part of AC/DC history.

"To the untrained ear, Phil Rudd’s drumming may seem rudimentary, but his style and groove have earned him the adoration of generations of his peers. Rammstein’s Christoph Schneider said in the October 2010's Modern Drummer, 'AC/DC were my absolute heroes because they are simple and easy to copy, though soon you find they are not so easy to copy.' The magazine’s May 2010 issue also honoured the rocker with the feature '50 Reasons To Love Phil Rudd'. Rudd has appeared on all but three of AC/DC’s 18 studio albums, which have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide."
