Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

Abrasive and upbeat, Death from Above 1979 is a now split-up 'dance-punk' duo from Toronto, Canada. The beats are solid and enjoyable, the riffs hook you almost immediately, and the vocals are not bad. On several songs the singer's voice tends to grate against the nerves, but that's mostly because I'm just not a big fan of high-pitched, distorted voice. If you go into a lower register, hey it's fine with me, but once you start screaming, yikes.
I imagine that this is the band that most of those stupid 'hardcore' scene bands wish they were. I hesitate to say that last statement, because I'm sure I'll get hate for implying that DFA1979 is hardcore, but in the area where I live all of our 'hardcore' bands pretty much try to sound like a very weak version of this band, but with horrendous breakdowns. There are some hardcore-esque techniques employed in the band's sound, specifically the blast beats in the opening of "Cold War" and the vocal techniques. The strained, 'about-to-have-a-hernia' scream omnipresent in hardcore also makes an appearance in several tracks. Death From Above 1979 is heavy, fast, and fun, a strange combination but it works beautifully.
