#69 Seller of 2005! Of course there have been two-piece bands before: Simon and Garfunkel, the Chemical Brothers, the Carpenters, Sonny and Cher. But it's fair to say that none of these previous two-pieces have managed to make quite as much noise with as little instrumentation as Death From Above 1979. Death From Above 1979 are two friends who met in prison -- Jesse F. Keeler and Sebastien Grainger -- who live in a funeral parlor in Toronto. To hear them on record, it's hard to believe that the only instrum   [ read more ]

The follow up to their Heads Up EP and a precursor to their full-length due in August 2004. The Toronto duo -- Sebastien Grainger on vocals/drums and Jesse F. Keeler on bass and synth -- bequeath us with three songs and one mega-hot re-re-re-remix. Tight as hell, freaking loud, with a groove that makes us want to get dirty. This is our kind of new wave punk.

Death From Above 1979 makes their considerable racket with only bass, drums, and the occasional Moog squelch assist. This isn't a gimmick -- between Sebastien Grainger's frantic wail and the overdriven bass riffs of Jesse F. Keeler, the duo's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine pulses with a steady, sweaty energy that's punctuated with arena-sized hooks. "Blood on Our Hands" boils dance-punk nearly all the way down, leaving only a relentless hi-hat cymbal, while "Turn It Out" and {&"Cold W   [ read more ]

With You're a Woman, I'm a Machine and the resulting run of sweaty live shows Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler proved that Death from Above 1979's bass/Moog/drums/vocals setup fulfills both sides of the dance-punk hyphenate. So it's no surprise that Romance Bloody Romance is more intent on reinterpretation -- on showing off the diversity of the source material -- than offering straight remixes exclusively for dancing. There are four versions each of "Romantic Rights" and {&"Bla   [ read more ]
