Romantic Rights - Death From Above 1979

Enraged Rock With A Strong Unique Bass
Two man bands are not that common, and DFA 1979 is not your normal band and Romantic Rights is not your normal rock. The bass guitar takes lead with a strong first note and scratches on the string to make for a rich opening followed by fast perfect drums. Then the bass switches to the main baseline and the breathy soft vocals come in. I am not a fan of really heavy air filled voices, but Sebastien does a great job of building up with a calm almost whisper of a voice. And then comes his more violent voice which is more normal for him and brings in the energy. Just as a side note, he is the drummer too, which makes this song all the better. The chorus also has a very slow rising note that come from a synth or just background noise out in, but it really help build to the song as a whole. With all these great pieces coming from a two man band, it's hard not to like this song.
