Death from Above 1979

Pull Out

Label: 679 Recordings

7466
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 20th, 2005

Place your bets... now!

Who's gonna be the most hard-rockin', bombastic, spazziest, wildest popular beat combo of 2005? Come on kids, put your money where their mouths are... The Others? Towers Of London? Bloc Party? Maximo Park? The week after next's cover stars on you-know-what?

After hearing this download-only single you're not going to care about anyone but Death From Above 1979. In under two minutes they lay waste to this year's would-be movers and shakers with planet-sized drums and the kinda fuzzed-up 'n' fucked-up rock action previously dished up only by Mudhoney, circa when you rockers were still in Pampers. Only DFA1979 speed it all up, turning The Rock into some kinda Hell's Angels disco, facial hair and grease stains a must.

I fuckin' LOVE this shit - it's utterly demented and completely without competition in The Rock stakes. Get it.

Indeed, get it for free here.
