Death from Above (nee Death from Above 1979) are the Toronto-based duo of Jesse F. Keeler (bass, synths) and Sebastien Grainger (vocals, drums), which formed in 2001. Refusing to employ a lead guitarist, they played loud synth infused dance punk on the drum and bass combination alone.
They added the 1979 suffix to the name following a legal dispute with New York City dance-punk label Death From Above (known as DFA Records since the September 11, 2001 attacks).

So this is my band from the late 90s early 2000s. During lockdown we conspired remotely to re-record some of our old songs and write a couple of new ones. We were never in the same room for any of these recordings. Ive been in many bands since but these guys I still speak to nearly every day 20 years after our band disbanded.more
