The Best Duos In Music: The Black Keys, The Kills, Sleigh Bells

While the most common line-up for a band includes a singer, guitarist, bass and drums, there are some acts who have found a way to make just as much noise, and in some cases more, with just two members. Double acts seem to be the new favourite formula for success, and it has worked well in the case of these bands.

We look at classic double acts such as The White Stripes, new comers like Sleigh Bells and those who make more noise than ever thought possible from just two sets of limps, Death From Above 1979 we are looking at you.

While the duo is more often used in hip hop and rap, we've put together a list of bands who cross a range of music genres.
