Can Ages and Ages Make Songs About Earthquakes and the End of Civilization Fun? Yes, They Can.
b'Can Ages and Ages make songs about earthquakes and the end of civilization fun? Yes, yes they can.
No one can deny that the band Ages and Ages is infectious. All those hand claps and group harmonies have made songs like "No Nostalgia" and "Do the Right Thing" total NPR ear worms. But the band has changed tack on their new album, \\u201cSomething to Ruin.\\u201d The music is just as infectious, but the subject matter has become much more topical, dealing with issues of booming real estate, mass consumerism, and, well, the impending Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. They played an exclusive preview of the music and talked about how the end of civilization could be a good thing.
Stay tuned for videos of their performance on opbmusic on Aug. 31. And catch them live at their Sept. 3 record release show at Mississippi Studios.'
