Track01 it's unemployed...just like you!

were do i start? this cd is incredible. its another strong fact that candian music doesnt suck. staright rfom toronto these guys are musicans who are recrding stuff that ive never herd before. i mean two piece bands are rare today, but a two peice that consists of a singing drummer and a distorted bass? their lineup isnt only one a kind but so is there music. and it seems like these guy would also put on a kickass live show. if you get the chance too, see these guys live, and buy this cd.

This album is *awesome*. Everybody needs to own this. The group is two guys: a drummer and a bassist. There are little samples thrown in around the songs, but most of the time it's just drums and a loud, way overdriven bass guitar. The sound could be described as stagnant through the album, but they use so many different melodies and techniques that it's easy not to care. This is a great album to work to with all the energy in it.

DFA 1979's next album will actually be three seperate albums.If they're anything like this one, three may not be enough.

This album is noisy and it makes me want to dance. Is funky the right word? It is guitar driven, funny and the vocals are a unique ball of fuzz. I am hooked and it was only recently that I learned about the band itself. I recommended this band especially the album to anyone who also likes Kasabian, Flannelmouth, Boy or Franz Ferdinand for their energy, massive sound and arena enthusiasm. My favourite tracks are "Go home get Down", "Blood on our Hands" and "Cold War". Perhaps you will like them too.

This CD just plain rocks. They have a very unique sound that can only be described as "raw". I haven't enjoyed a rock album this much since I first heard QOTSA's Songs for the Deaf. Recommended.

Wow... I'm almost speechless. This CD contains some of the most original-sounding rock I have heard for the past decade. Who do you compare it to? You can't compare it to anyone, becuase nothing has really sounded like this before. It's a bass guitar, a drum set, and two voices. Absolutely amazing, the talent that these guys have. All the tracks are awesome, but standouts include Going Steady, Blood On Our Hands, and Little Girl. I hope these guys are recognized in some way, because this is the best purchase I have made in a long while. Buy this CD... Do It.

I remember the first time I picked up this record. I saw its minimalistic cover and thought "What would this band SOUND like?" I pictured twisted, punked-up electroclash; angry electronic-based noise; and was surprised when I found them to be, simply put, a great, ass-kicking rocknroll band. While there are synths, the emphasis is put on delivering monster riffage through a distorted bass. I love it - it's as if Death From Above 1979 were like Motorhead playing Flock of Seagulls. Hard rock you can dance to and not feel guilty about liking.
