Death From Above 1979 make a magnificent amount of noise for 2 people. They released their first full-length album “You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine” in 2004.  They would break up in 2006, citing creative differences.  It wasn’t until 2011 that the band officially reunited and played shows together again.  Since then they’ve put out 3 albums, and settled into a new era of working together, knowing what they both need to make the band work.  Their latest is Is 4 Lovers available through Universal Music Canada.
