Forever cascading forward in a positive direction, gleefully instinctive, No Age erupt out of your speakers, blasting away the clouds above the smoggy cityscape to reveal a solar flaring sun. With an ecstatic force bubbling around and beyond their music, they release contagious energy like they’re main-lining a field full of whirring wind turbines, while tuned into an ancient celestial power source.
No Age is the duo of Dean Spunt and Randy Randall, they are on a constant journey to explore the furthest reaches of sound. They set out with one particular rule in mind: To write songs that we would be psyched to listen to. On a first listen, discovering each new dose of their alchemy is exhilarating—they produce perfectly crafted songs, underpinned by infectious melodies and ear-piercing cacophony. This swirling mix of unstoppable momentum is catapulted into the stratosphere by sweeping bursts of symphonic growls. Their power is enunciated through their ability to take their core of catchy song-writing and expand its emotional influence through tone, structure and noise.

"Welcome to Take Five, a (semi-)weekly feature where we ask five Very Important Questions of a local band set to perform that week. Today it's Bukkake Boys.
1. Sexy name! Hard to Google, though.
Thanks, we try to arouse our fans, as well as entertain.
2. As a wise man once noted, "Punk rock died when the first kid said 'Punk's not dead.'" Is punk dead?
CRASS told us punk is dead, and I believe them.
3. Who's your favorite Atlanta sports figure, past or present?
Andre Rison.
4. I just heard the new Weezer album, and it's terrible. What's the last terrible album you heard?
It's been a while since I've heard a true clunker, but the other day I got an Unruled 45 in the mail that was warped beyond belief. I tried to listen to it, and it was indeed a terrible, terrible experience.
5. Tell me a kid-friendly joke that's still kind of funny.
Q: What does a sexy ghost wear? A: A fitted sheet." - Creative Loafing

Rene Hell is the alter-ego synthesizer project for Jeff Witscher, who was born in California in 1983. Witscher has kept busy in the past few years, recording dozens of releases as Rene Hell and a gaggle of other pseudonyms (Impregnable, Secret Abuse, Marble Sky), as well as playing in bands like Roman Torment and the curiously titled Deep Jew. As is common to the US’s underground experimental scene, most of these recordings saw release only on cassette or CD-r, making 2010’s Porcelain Opera Witscher’s first CD and LP as Rene Hell. Released on Type records and clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the album is fairly concise for a drone record, though the vinyl release comes with a full-length bonus disc called Rogue Camera. In terms of aesthetic, the album evokes other contemporary synth experimentalists like Emeralds or Oneohtrix Point Never, but with percussive loops and melodies that betray a stronger techno influence.
