Death From Above 1979, the Toronto-based duo of bassist and synth-man Jesse Keeler and vocalist and drummer Sebastien Grainger, delivered abrasive industrial-grade heavily-syncopated hardcore on the EP Heads Up (2002), with Dead Womb and Losing Friends, and on the album You're a Woman I'm a Machine (2004) that feels like a concept album about teenage sexual angst. Their signature song Romantic Rights is the archetype of the style. The rhythmic charge of Going Steady sounds like a more propulsive Cream mixed with stoner-metal. The mildly melodic Blood on Our Hands, the Deep Purple-esque Little Girl, the psychobilly You're a Woman I'm a Machine and especially chamber melodrama Black History Month guarantee enough variety to the show.

Romance Bloody Romance (2005) collects remixes and rarities.

Keeler and producer Al-P formed MSTRKRFT that released the much more conventional dance album The Looks (2006).

Death From Above returned after a long hiatus with The Physical World (2014), containing The Physical World and Trainwreck 1979, Outrage! Is Now (2017), containing Freeze Me and 8 All I C Is U & Me, and Is 4 Lovers (2021), containing NYC Power Elite Part I & II.
