DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 - R.I.P.

About Me

It doesn't matter how Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler met and formed the Toronto rock duo Death From Above 1979 (either on a pirate ship or in prison, take your pick). All that really matters is that they found a way to blend power rock and dance floor sensibilities, finally giving today's sound the swagger it's been missing. Their album,You're a Woman, I'm a Machine has enough blaring riffs, off-beat lyrics, intense rhythms, and strong hooks to satisfy anyone.

Thanks to everyone for supporting the music
DFA 1979 RIP.

"Romantic Rights"

"Blood on Our Hands"
