There was a period of time in the early ‘00s when one of the most exciting bands in the game was Canada’s own Death From Above.

Well, that’s what they were called at first, but by the time they released their debut album ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine,’ Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler had lengthened their name to Death From Above 1979 due to a lawsuit.

But that didn’t detract from that album becoming a ferocious piece of work, with tracks like 'Romantic Rights,' 'Blood On Our Hands,' and 'Black History Month' being considered classics by all fans of the dance-punk and alt-rock genre spectrum.

In 2006 though, the group split, and fans wondered what the future may hold. While Grainger launched his solo career and worked with other bands, Keeler served as one half of electronic duo MSTRKRFT.

But in 2011, they were back together, and we’ve since received three new albums from the band, with 2021’s ‘Is 4 Lovers’ being their last to date.

More recently, they’ve been a little busy touring the world as part of the anniversary of their debut album, playing the record in full in the process. Now this month, they’re visiting Australia for the first time in years to bring the stellar tracks to local audiences.

To celebrate, I was lucky enough to have a brief chat with Jesse F. Keeler about the record and the band’s history, though he quickly abandoned our time constraints and we just kept it pretty casual.

Anyway, I strongly urge you to check out Death From Above 1979’s ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine,’ grab a ticket to their upcoming tour, and once you’re done doing that, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
