Death From Above 1979, Archer Oh [garage]

Canadian noise rock duo Death from Above 1979 (bassist Jesse F. Keeler and drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger) arrived tardy to the early-Aughts rock explosion with their propulsive and thumping 2004 debut You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine, spawning “Romantic Nights” (and its numerous remixes) and “Blood on Our Hands.” Creative difficulties led to a 2006 breakup, only to be followed by a reformation in 2011 and the release of a punishing, long-awaited follow-up, The Physical World, in 2014. 2017’s Outrage! Is Now saw the duo fold social commentary into a classic rock/metal amalgam. – Kahron Spearman
