It’s always fun watching Randy and Dean go to town with that special No Age oomph. How do vegans have so much energy? Regardless, the duo played our Saturday Volume party (from which we’ve also posted the beloved circuit benders Fuck Buttons and aerobically sound HEALTH), showcasing the warping “Eraser,” a new song from their forthcoming Sub Pop album Nouns. (Note: The feedback loop reminds us of MBV’s “Glider.”) Live, the smear’s more pronounced than on the jangly album version, but goddamn do these guys write great snotty punk pop songs. (Speaking of which, another Nouns track, “Teen Creeps,” is a favorite right now … more on that later.)
“Eraser”
If you dug that, and can’t wait until the album’s release in May, Sub Pop is putting out an “Eraser” 7″ in April with three b-side covers of songs by Nerves, Nate Denver, and Urinals. For the more nostalgically minded, R and D also played the beloved art-punker “Boy Void” for us, with less flickers than the official video. But, this take has Randy talking about getting cocked in Texas.

No Age and Abe Vigoda are about the only bands that matter right now. Ima Gymast and Child Pornography are right behind. Health would be a lot better if they weren’t just an anorexic, glammed up Boredoms. The Smell is a pretty great place, but one shouldn’t neglect Pehr Space in Echo Park. Blah blah blah.
Hey everybody — we switched the right and left columns to the way you said it should be. Better?
I honestly don’t see what the big deal No Age is about. Saw them open for Battles, was a bit confused as to why.
I think this band is garbage. I don’t get it, there’s really just no talent in this at all.

Yeah I think it is better. Thanks!
I think No Age is amazing. And I’m going to keep proselytizing about them as much as people will stand.
no age is fucking awesome. they are just a punk band, i dont think they want ayone to tell them they are great… but they sure are

When are you guys going to put up Destroyer? Was he even filmed?
My god that’s awful.
couldn’t even make it through the whole video. Once he started to “sing” i had to turn it off. How could anyone enjoy this?
I wouldn’t go saying they’re awesome yet but they do bring something different to the table. Just how great/awesome something is should be measured over time. I can think of so many bands thats had such a buzz on that first album and it only got worse from there on out. (I don’t count the first NA album as a true LP) Lets see where they’re at 3 albums from now. Most likely everyone will be making the same arguments. :P
