"Death from above 1979"...Ok, talk to me about this band.

I saw them on a Conan repeat this morning and I was blown away. I really dug their sound. Since most of the time the bands I like aren't liked around here, I say that as someone who likes Scissor Sisters, that must mean they suck to the rest of you right? :p But seriously, do you guys like them?

[Applejack]

I know very little about them, but I did hear one of their songs on Sirius' "Left of Center" station and liked it.

I think Pitchfork may have put their album as one of the top 50 of '04. For what that's worth anyway.

I wouldn't mind checking it out eventually

[The Bus]

I bought the album recently because I'm no a loud-music kick (still haven't gotten <i>Rainbow</i>) and I am NOT disappointed. Very cool music, loud without being annoying or sounding like Staind or anything on "Hard Rock Radio" nowadays.

DFA1979 rocks. They're playing two shows in one night here in a couple weeks, can't wait.

Scissor Sisters are cool too, don't sweat it ;)

[Poink]

I bought the album about a month ago or so after wanting to pick it up for a while. I'll also be seeing them when they place twice later in the month, but only the later show. Hopefully with Sexy Results.

Random bump of the day since I'm going to see them tonight. :thumbsup:

If anyone else is going, prepare to have your ass rawked.

Your band or the comp?

[Meatpants]

Holy. Shit.

Last night, Death came from Above and rocked my socks off. :thumbsup:

[cultshock]

I've only heard their first single (on the radio many times) but I like it. I'd like to hear more from them.

[Giantrobo]

Glad you had a great time Meat!

[Hollowgen]

you guys just got me interested. time to pick it up.

To those that don't know the somewhat unique, I say "somewhat" because I hear it's been done before, thing about them and their sound is that it's just a drummer and bass player who form the band. That's it.

They're a softer, more emotional version of bands like Lightning Bolt. (I'm completely serious).

It's noise/math rock for people who still like melodies.

There's a ton of bands who sound like them in the past 30 years, DFA1979 just happened to come out with a very good album in that genre. Groundbreaking? Nope. Excellent? Yep.
