Death From Above 1979 - Black History Month

From the album: You're A Woman, I'm A Machine

[BloggerMusicMan]

One of the most extraordinary bands to come out of Toronto in the last 20 years. Their first album was like nothing I had ever heard before. It was heavy enough for people who liked punk and metal, but it was also highly danceable for lots of other people, with intricate drumming and a bass that can drive an entire band.

I love the beats from DFA. There's a strong signature in all this music that no one else can hope to replicate.

[uNkLeRaRa]

DFA kicks SERIOUS ass!!! Signature sound is an understatement with these guys.

[SlaveofStrings]

I saw them play this at a festival and I was hooked. Had to make a cover of it.

[michaelm]

[MrDigre]

And the award for the coolest name for a band goes

[heidi]

Damn.. its been a long time.
Glad to hear you boys.... mmmm

[thereliablesource]

Nobody in the comments are arguing about the name. Who are you telling to calm down?!

[MrKeroscene]

If you are 50 and knew this band 10 years ago, you are pretty darn cool. ahem!!

[beauclaus]

Saw them in 2005 or 6 at the Black Cat in DC. Great show. Keeler kept asking what the best band from DC was and people kept yelling Fugazi and Minor Threat. He said nope, Trans Am.

This song is called black history month because it was written in February. All of y'all fighting in this comment section are silly.

[フォグマシン]

was in my 20s when this was out. the aughts were time of my life!

I was just a cyber nerd on speed listening to sage francis, immortal technique and ab soul everyday. Eminem was bond with my stepdad torture music. And then I switched out. Omg yes.

[SlyHikari]

Reminds me of queens of the Stone Age.

Also, the song was written in February, that’s why it’s called that.

[scndsky]

I always thought he sang "Your best friends from Paris are leaving"

[AntiHolyChrist]

I'm just vaping on the train like it's 1979.

I think Frederick Douglass might still be alive. My source: The president of the United States. Yeah, what year is it?

[AntiHolyChrist]

2011. H1n1. "Hold on. Hold on. Children. Your parents are leaving." Hahahaha the mental abstract parental statue formulation began.
