I really like this band. Thanks for their EP Levi. :)

I'll look it up. Thanks buddy.

R.i.p. Dfa 1979
 

Death From Above 1979 have officially called it quits

that sucks.. they've only made what one real album? anyways it was pretty good for while.. sad how bands just keep falling apart.. :(

:( ^ Yup, but it's always bound to happen sometime to bands.:(

well that sucks

Thats kind of, lame.

Then why can't it happen to HIM?!

Im actually gutted about this news...Lame

well they were kind taking there time making a new album, so it wasn't hard to see something was up. I mean yea for some bands it takes up to 5 years or more to make another album, but not normaly when its just there second real album.

*pauses*



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf? why? and how and again why?!?!?!


this sucks :(

Oh well. Another one bites the dust.

Tis a shame as I quite enjoyed these guys.

R.I.P :(

I have no idea who these people are.
Judging by the response, they seem popular.

Info please.

Noise rock

it was two guys, one would play drums and the other played a distorted bass. the drummer would sing and the bassist would sometimes play a synth. They are in a sense a wall of noise. And very good. I could upload the Romantic Rights EP or You're a Woman, I'm a Machine LP for anyone that doesn't have it/wants it.

Cheers moses.
*goes to investigate*

Jesus & Mary Chain without the songwriting ability ;)

Their louder than Jesus and Mary Chain :p:


and I was excited about the new album :(

If you didn't see them live you missed an amazing show.

i wouldn't say they were noise rock, more like dance rock....
i liked one or two songs...never really got into them....and tis a good thing they split, that whole two man operation is really a one trick pony...

I much found Romantic rights to be really cool, it had all I think the same songs that were on there album, only they were very dance able.. and less punkier, and more up beat.. but I can honestly say, it was easy coming.

I'm sorry but that is nearly un-readable. And Romantic Rights was an EP recorded before You're a Woman I'm a Machine. Romance Bloody Romance (which I think you're talking about) is re-mixes and b-sides.

you are completely right.. I new something didn't seem right about that post.. thanks :)

It's not true. You're all liars. /denial

I wish we were but check the official website.

I liked them, but i can't say i was eagerly awaiting their second album...

Believe it or not, not all North American bands are second rate Euro rip offs.
Shocking, I know.

Damn you`ve found me out , i`ll go hang my head somewhere.

Death From Above 1979
 

Have you guys ever heard these guys? It's insane amazing music. It's a drummer/vocalist with a bassist/synthesizer. It's too bad they broke up but the music is amazingly crazy. I love it I think you guys should check it out it would change your lives!

Ignore my old post, in hindsight a new album would be awesome.

All DFA1979 threads merged.

I saw this band when they were just Death From Above... I enjoyed them.

I've been listening to Heads Up! and YAWIAM a lot lately, i love both so so much...

What i would do to see them reform...

I'm listening to these guys right now, first time in a long time. I'd almost forgot how much I ****ing love You're A Woman, I'm A Machine. It's just such a dirty, noisy mess of an album while still being really great party music. I have a mix to make for a mates birthday party and these guys are now definitely included. I will have to check the remix/B sides album out and the EP's.


Romantic Rights (and no its not your speakers dying in the middle section, I'm just thinking that the dummer probably wished he had a mic picking up that Megaphone. Whoops.

I love them so much omfg.

Sebastien Grainger said this about the band name:

I think I'm in love! :love:

This is about the fastest I have ever gotten into a band. I guess it makes sense, what with me loving bass-heavy music and the whole noise/garage indie rock thing...

Listened to YAWIAM just now and liked it quite a bit, raw energy right there.

Death From Above 1979
 

The are a very catchy kind of dance rock band and their songs also make for great remixes. Check out MSTRKRFT if you are real into Death From Above 1979

Heads Up>>You're A Woman I'm A Machine

They're both great, though.

Interesting. I've heard Heads Up but would never have said that. YAWIAM is one of my favourites though so maybe I just need to listen to it some more.

Ahh..I loved these guys back when they were still active. I remember catching them in a small venue opening for Danko Jones before YAWIAM came out. I had no idea they'd get so big. I'd love to say that I wish they'd reform, but I'm not sure how much else they could have accomplished being a drum & bass duo.
