We vs. Death
Dutch post-rock band
We vs. Death was a Dutch instrumental post-rock band, founded in 2000.
History
In the second half of 2000 a couple of like-minded musicians find each other at Utrecht University in Netherlands and decide to start a band. The band's name was initially Dylman's Disco Method, but after a while was changed to We vs. Death. Almost right away they chose to make instrumental post-rock.
We vs. Death played large venues such as Paradiso, 013, Vera and Tivoli as well as small-scale venues and squats like the ACU and the OCCII. Outside The Netherlands, they played venues in Belgium, England, Canada, France, Russia, Poland, Denmark, Germany and Japan.
