Their first album, High Voltage, was released in 1976 and points to the band's name origin. The Young brothers said they came up with the name after their older sister noticed the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine and they knew it had something to do with power, which seemed appropriate. thought it had something to do with power. It does mean "alternating current/direct current." The band used it, not realizing it was also slang for bisexual. The band claims NOT to be bisexual. They also denies that it stands for Against Christ/Devil's Children.
