For almost ten years, L.A.’s NO AGE have been overthrowing boundaries and gracefully binging on an experimental strain of alternative that literally feels like “flesh-ripping noise punk”. Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt’s sound has without a doubt changed since Get Hurt and Weirdo Rippers but even in the age of “Sad Kanye West”, the pair are still up for a set that feels 110% DIY. The band’s first of two outings at Toronto’s CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK took place at Hard Luck Bar (Friday, May 9th), a cozier setting that ultimately made every riff and kit bash grow arms and punch everyone in the face. Records like An Object and Everything In Between have a habit of doing that to you at a rando house party or on a bus but reliving it up-close is indescribable. Mainly because No Age are gifted dudes.
