The 11 Best Death From Above 1979 Hiatus Songs

I’m still in shock and I’m not sure I totally believe it…but the legendary, mythical punk rock band from the 00s, Death From Above 1979, has returned with a new album.  This wasn’t supposed to happen.  It’s been 10 years since their landmark debut in 2004.  Like a bolt lightning when they appeared…they vanished just as suddenly without a trace.  Sort of.  DFA1979, the thundering duo of Sebastien Grainger and  had gone their separate ways.  There were rumors of infighting, creative differences, even Fleetwood Mac like jealousy of sorts.  We knew as much as they wanted to tell us.  The one thing that was certain…new music was not coming anytime soon.  Us fans dealt with the shock of the news like a death.  It was over and it was time to move on.  Though the next album was a full decade away, the two songwriters of the band were still keeping busy making music.  They formed new bands, bringing the undertones of that unique DFA1979 sound with them.  This is a look at the decade between DFA1979’s debut and their sophomore album, selecting the best tunes that came out of that era.
