"No Wave is certainly a trendy sort of music to play right now, and as with any far-reaching revival of a whole sound, it will probably be annoying in about three months." Spazzy, Tough Ladies Kick No Wave Ass

"As an example-I was friendly at that time with James Chance who became James White. He was working for a mafia club and of cause the mafia were going to 'get him' and they weren't going to pay him. He went before the head mafia guy, who said "Oh just get out of here". And James is a real little skinny wimp. James took out a knife. The mafia guy was just sitting there thinking "What? He's going to knife me?". James just cut his own wrist-they paid him in one second flat. I think that kind of strategy, which we call masochistic, was a strategy that I felt was very useable because I didn't feel I had any power." by Beth Jackson

"For tiden jobber jeg med en ny film om det amerikanske fenomenet "No Wave", et fenomen som oppstod i New York på åttitallet med band som DNA, Mars, Sonic Youth og Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. Jeg utforsker mine egne myter om en tid jeg ikke har hatt tilgang til, gjennom intervjuer og opptak med fiktive filmatiske motiver." by Bjarne Melgaard

"Basically, part of the problem is that Christgau had difficulty with the No Wave thing several years ago. He was beaten up by James Chance at one of the gigs. As a result, he refuses to review anything slightly associated with No Wave, like Glenn Branca or Lydia Lunch." by Kim Gordon

"But this little set, finally issued domestically, is a firm reminder that Cale presaged DNA, Glenn Branca, and Rhys Chatham in creating the original no-wave, even if he eventually got pulled under it." by David Auerbach

"Von Lmo: Born on the planet Strazar and raised in the "black light dimension," Von Lmo (whose last name rhymes with "well Moe") teleported to Earth in the late-'70s to play industrial noise in a handful of New York No Wave bands. The best known of these is Red Transistor, which recorded a single with the somewhat unlikely title of "We're Not Crazy" for Red Star Records. It didn't actually see the light of day until Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore released it on his Ecstatic Peace label. After a 10-year stint in "suspended animation," Lmo is once again releasing albums of blistering noise." taken from Space Rock.
