Insound Staff Pick - 2008! The Sub Pop debut by this LA duo is succinctly all encompassing, from the faux simplicity of the title to the beautiful distortion of its sound, to the packaging that includes a 68-page full-color book packed with photos and art pieces. The record opens with a symphony of noise and sometimes creeps, sometimes smashes through a sonic headlock befitting "Daydream Nation"-era Sonic Youth, Kiwi pop, My Bloody Valentine, and experimental noise.

Formed from the ashes of the fondly-remembered Wives, No Age is Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, two young heavyweights from the LA skate/art/punk underworld. No Age purvey a stripped, essential, life-affirming, and skewed take on pop delivered via a clearly-defined punk-rock aesthetic; they take in noise, energy, and melody in equal measure. Variously reminiscent of Black Dice, The Ramones, and My Bloody Valentine, Weirdo Rippers documents a fast-developing band hitting their stride.[ read more ]
