Death From Above 1979 have discussed how phones and Twitter mean "no-one can get away from anything any more" and what Kurt Cobain would do if he was alive.
Discussing the duo's new album The Physical World and how it relates to modern technology in an interview with NME, Sebastien Grainger said that "People ask 'what would Kurt Cobain do if he were alive today?' He'd blow his head off."
Speaking about when the band first started, Graigner also said that "We wanted to be as straight ahead as possible," adding that "We wanted to be the AC/DC of hardcore. That's still one of our goals."
Listen to Death From Above 1979's new track 'Trainwreck 1979' below:
Also explaing the band's new track 'White Is Red', Graigner said "It's a bit Springsteen because it's a wandering ballad and a car song. Jesse [F Keeler]'s riff totally sounded like Sonic Youth when he first played it."
The Physical World will be the band's first full length album in almost ten years and is due to be released on Monday 8 September 2014.
Death From Above 1979 have also announced a UK tour. Full dates are below, and tickets are on sale now. For more information click here.
