#5.) Death From Above 1979 are not from the UK. (they’re CANADIAN)

#4.) Their name is Death From Above 1979. The name is so long that it screams “importance”… or arrogance, either way.

#3.) Death from Above 1979 are friends with Broken Social Scene, Metric, The Dears, and Stars. Good bands tend to keep good company.

#2.) Their full length EP, You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine, is supercharged with hyper-rock energy (times three, or so). Jesse Keeler plays the bass and the synths, and Sebastien Grainger plays the drums and sings. That’s right, this band has a singing drummer, and no guitarist!

#1.) You can download their second single, Blood On Our Hands, from the aforementioned album, here.

And since I didn’t say already, their official website is deathfromabove1979 dot com. There are a few other free mp3s there as well.
