Canadian radio stations can sometimes confuse your average American, because along with the poppy shit we get from them we feature a lot of Canadian artists. Why not though, right? We are proud of our people (and not all of them suck as much as the ones America makes into icons). Prime example: Death From Above 1979. So these guys are from Toronto and had actually broken up in 2006, but got back together in 2011 to the sheer joy of their fans. You may be curious about the name, I know I was. They used to be just Death From Above, but had to change it because of some big legal battle with a dance music label (can you guess their name?) A quote from one of the guys in the band (Grainger) said they chose the number because "1979 is the year of my birth, 1979 is the year of Off the Wall, 1979 is the year of The Pleasure Principle, 1979 is the last year of the last cool decade, 1979 is scratched into my arm, 1979 is scratched into my arm, 1979 is scratched into my fucking arm." This song is from after their big reunion, and actually came out this year. Some people say it doesn't sound like the old stuff, but why would it after almost a decade. So enjoy this song, and if you have any other cool bands I should feature let me know in the comments.
Peace.
