“Scroll down to go for a ride…” We typically have TH-cam comments off on our videos but were politely asked by our record label to turn them on for this video. We obliged.

You gentlemen very kindly gave my son and I free passes to see you perform in 2005 at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, along with The Foo Fighters, Green Day, Audioslave, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, and many more. One for the ages... you killed then, and you still kill!
still CANNOT believe these guitar licks are done on a bass over a regular guitar, you guys are big inspiration for me playing my bass guitar, and id like to say thank you for that 💕
This is quite possibly their best song yet . Just the perfect mix of all their previous songs all put together . Great up tempo beat . I personally am glad it rocks .
It feels weird 'cause now I see your music growing more mature, but at the same time I'm growing more mature myself and I see how your previous music resonated back then with my younger self and it's the same way it's resonating now with my present self. So I guess we're still riding the same wave; is these nice coincidences that make life so magic. Cheers.
@@vansvch475 What the fuck are you on about, dude? What does them reflecting on their life and a band they enjoy have anything to do with being a "Proud Boy"?
@@brandon4117 their life has been writing songs about trad wives and other douchey shit Brandon. If that’s what got you, you’re a douche too. I responded to the music, never listened to the lyrics. I looked them up, turns out they are pretty alt right. Fuck this band, and if you like them, guess what....
@@vansvch475 did you report my comment? Why? Because mine made sense while the article you're referencing is filled with anecdotal information and sources that are twisted to fit a certain narrative? I don't even like DFA that much and am quite liberal. Maybe you didn't report my comment, but, I have a feeling you did.
@@zechs5079 He probably did, wouldn't surprise me. I'm heavily liberal myself and looking at DFA1979 there's nothing "alt-right" about them. Hell Jesse denounced the alt-right in his statement a few years back when this targeted bullshit first came around.
Love you guys since 2008. I am from Colombia (latin america) and I was lucky enough to go to USA and see you guys in Indianapolis, 2015. Is 2021 now and you still rock!!
my dad showed me this band and fell in love i watched your lives and went to see you on my birthday this year in burningham i love your music and hope you make more in the future
Been listening to y’all since I was maybe 19 or a little younger, can’t fully remember but I’m 30 now. Y’all are still one of my top 5 favorite bands. Fuckin love you guys! Best duo ever!!
I can absolutely not stop listening to this banger like omg where have I been to have just discovered #DFA1979!? Love it & cool music video for sure!! Stay Blessed!!
I like it how they get a new drummer for every album, who just happens to sound the same and have the same name. Whilst the bass guitarist remains fixed in one point in time forever.
Hopefully YT decides to actually notify me when this releases, because I know my memory is shot so badly that I can't even recall when I've gone to sleep in the past week. *Though to be fair, I probably haven't slept that much anyway.* Either way, HELL YES I AM PUMPED.
Best duo concert I have ever attended in my life! You guys rocked it in SF on 10/30/22! Btw, we got Jesse's bass pick (yellow with black JFK letters), and we bought your signed posters. Such a great memory. Even after a harsh semester, that did not stop us from being there for you. My husband and his best friend have followed you since 2004 and drove to Washington state to see you play at the Sasquatch festival (yes, we have that poster, too) in 2011. Your music enchanted my ears for the first time in 2015 and accompanied me during harsh times. A girl from El Salvador who never thought of watching you live so close. Thank you, Jesse and Sebastien, for changing my life.
I'm from a lil border town in south texas my uncle showed me DFA when I was 12 I'm 29 17 years later they still fuckin kick ass. Always have at least one DFA song play on the ride to work
Absolutely choice. Been a fan for a long time. This has the evolution of their sound but with all the fundamental bits that make dfa1979 dfa1979. You guys keep fucking killing it.
this is a quality comment. cannot unhear this. the thom yorke is a very specific thom though, he only sounds like that on a handful of songs, but when i read this i knew exactly what you meant.
Oh my giddy aunt. This is the perfect tonic today. Stuck on my studio headphones and immersed myself.. This song is just spine tingling greatness. It may be the lockdown madness or the les paul in my lap that I was already noodling on when this popped up on my alerts. But just keep on bloody doing it. You guys give me energy ⚡
THIS IS GOING ON MY TOP 10 ANIME RETURNS!!!! Edit: Jokes aside I am on lunch at work, listening to this song and straight up for 3 min and 50 sec I forgot I was working. That is how great and fire this song is man. Always love what comes out from y’all because I literally don’t know what to expect and that is the number one reason why I love it! Looking forward to the new music!!!
@@elvishendrix676 You've got it backwards. They were originally Death From Above, but had to add the 1979 because of a dispute with DFA Records/the owner (James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem). It was resolved after a long time recently, and they were allowed to call themselves Death From Above officially again. Guess they're sticking with it anyway
@@gabriel7037 they played one of their new songs called 'boilermaker' when I saw them at Reading. that song is the only crum of hope that I have for their upcoming album

Its partly due to the KentArmstrong pickups and mostly due to himself aha.
Using a pick on bass is ILLEGAL.

Me too!
17. 31 now, favorite for sure!!!
I got into them from the "Justice" remixes way back when. From one amazing duo to another!

Bro I came here from a comment of a Black Pistol Fire song. That band is a great discovery !! But u should check BPF if you dont know them.
1:45 My favorite part!
Well holy moly this album did not fail to impress!
This song was on repeat on my Spotify when it came out. Love it so much
You guys are awesome and this song sounds really good. Been a big fan for a while now, glad you kept the “1979.” Please come back to Atl.
So are their lawyers.
It is one of the great tragedies of my life that I only heard about this Toronto (1 hour away from me) band a few months ago. Absolute genius.
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FULL ALBUM
I am so so happy I hope to see you guys live as soon as possible its my dream
Stumbling onto your new song totally made my day!
great song! fantastic video! well done you guys!
New royal blood and DFA?! Heavy duos are back!

I. CANT. WAIT. So glad you guys are making another album!

Yo, thanks guys. I ended up busy anyhow, but about to listen now.
The true rocker spirit is alive and well with these guys. Love this band so much.
This recording is so clean I love it
I got $20 that says we will undoubtedly hear this jam in the next season of LetterKenny.
Make it some all-dressed chips?

Happiness is a DFA song.

Such a special occasion calls for a classic Canadian tux. Mint stuff.
These guys were royal blood before royal blood was royal blood... only difference is these guys never got soft or poppy

Anthony Kiedis is getting better with every new DFA79 album! He can even make an invisible cymbal sound like the real one!
Sweaty and in the pit for the Guelph show 2023.... Love the music you've made over the years....rock on
We all needed this Thank you !
Soooo good.
So fucking worth the wait, hope the entire album bangs like this
Is there a new record on the way? I haven't seen anything that mentions that...
Nevermind!!! Found it! Hahaha
A really amazing song. Thx!

Question: You dropped the "1979" from your name why did you bring it back?
They had to drop the 1979, because of some copyright issues or something. Perhaps it got resolved and they could finally bring it back.
