Last year's barn-burning "You're a Target" was a high water mark for No Age. In many ways it showcased the band at their most creative, their most destructive, their most ambitious. The most recognizable part of the song will always be those notes that sound like they're being pulled right out of the mix. It's such a simple idea that I'm shocked that it sounded so innovative to me. No Age used their recent Daytrotter session to release "Hard Trash," a song that contained the samples used in "You're a Target." Those distinctive notes clawing their way out of the noise started out whining their way through "Hard Trash." It's fascinating hearing the same sound used for two completely different effects.No Age also premiered two other songs: the strummy "N.G.F.S." and the raging punk rocker "Depletion." Go visit the generous folks over at Daytrotter here.
Also, I love how there's nothing on Spunt's face in the illustration that even remotely suggests that he can play the fuck out of a drum kit. See how pleasant he looks?
Your use of parallelism to describe the "clawing" and "whining" of the samples on "Hard Trash" and "You're a Target" is strong. Pass. NK
