Death From Above 1979 is a Canadian two-piece known for high-octane, raw dance-punk. Formed in 2001 by keeler on bass/synth and grainger on drums/vocals, the duo originally christened Death From Above before adding and later dropping the 1979 in response to a legal issue and branding choices. Their sound blends ferocious bass and drum work with garage grit and electronic textures, delivering relentless live performances that have earned them critical acclaim around the world.
