Hard rocking, head-banging… and good for your health?  It’s true – and the science proves it. 

The latest episode of the AC/DC Beyond The Thunder podcast featured Dr. Mark Judge Tramos, a Harvard University professor who studies the impact of music on the brain.

He says that AC/DC’s music can release endorphins and dopamine, brain chemicals that lead to “feelings of happiness and well-being”.

Studies have shown AC/DC tunes can improve heart rate and blood pressure, help reduce anxiety and pain in cancer patients, and can even help surgeons make fewer mistakes during surgery.
