The original band name was Death from Above, but in 2004 they were forced to change to Death from Above 1979 after the record label of the same name caught notice and sent a cease-and-desist letter. To say they were upset about this was quite the {{understatement}}.

"Romantic Rights", Rights" was also used as the theme song to ''Series/HumanGiant''. Their most recent album is 2017's Outrage Is Now.
