Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine

How about a drum & bass combo with a real drummer and a real bass player but they rock out and the bass playing sounds like Lemmy? That's what you get with Death From Above 1979: a bass player and a drummer who sings (with the occasional synth thrown in for texture). That's the band, folks. Speaking of minimalism, the singing reminds me of Jack White when he's really rocking but with even more energy. The sound is different, it's noisy, it's modern, but it really works at times on their debut album, You're a Woman, I'm a Machine. Check out Turn It Out and Little Girl.
