Death From Above 1979 – “One + One”

February 16, 2021

Death From Above 1979 need no introduction… 2004’s You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine is/was an iconic slice of fuzz-dance glory – they also successfully launched a triumphant return in the early 2010s and have been crafting electric dance-punk ever since. Their latest offering, “One + One” continues that successful formula – speaker shredding-bass thunder and ultra-tight drums come together in this video that pairs their sweaty nightclub energy with… Cows and four wheelers? It’s a strange juxtaposition, but this video somehow feels as DFA1979 as ever. We dig this one a lot – watch the vid below before swinging by their Spotify.

Tonight: Death From Above

November 25, 2018

103.3 the Edge proudly presents Death From Above tonight at The Rapids Theatre! The duo from Toronto, Canada has had a tumultuous past, yet has overcome difficulties and differences to continue creating some pretty banging music.

I remember listening[...]

What do you do after mysteriously and quietly disbanding one of Canada’s most buzz­worthy acts? Well the answer turns out to mysteriously and quietly reunite and record an amazing sophomore album. Death From Above 1979 is back with a decade of experience behind them, and it shows in The Physical World. The guitar hits hard, the lyrics bite down, and all of the tracks feel gritty. The album is fresh while still accessible to the fans that have worn out 2004’s You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine. There is a mix in The Physical World that will hit a lot of different cords. I hear flashes of the White Stripes, Them Crooked Vultures and even Fall Out Boy, but all blended together in a way that creates its own unique sounds. The duo does not betray its roots with the new album, and that is exceptionally clear in their radio releases “Trainwreck 1979” and “Government Trash.” If[...]
