Synopsis

In the late 1980s, the New York City underground music scene was alive with energy, rebellion, and creativity. At the heart of it was Charlie Ondras, a fearless, uncompromising drummer who defined the pulse of a generation’s wildest sound. As a founding member of Unsane, the pioneering noise rock band that fused punk aggression with industrial noise, Charlie became a force to be reckoned with, blurring the lines between melody and madness. But his story is far more than just a tale of music—it's about the cost of brilliance, the fragility of fame, and the tragic toll of addiction. Noisy Silence follows the rise and fall of Ondras, from his formative years growing up in New York, to the chaotic, sweat-drenched nights in the studio and on stage with Unsane. Charlie’s creative chemistry with bandmates Chris Spencer and Dave Curran helped carve out an identity for a band that would go on to influence generations of musicians. The film also dives into his collaborations with the gritty, genre-defying duo Boss Hog, featuring Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez, capturing the unpredictable energy and raw tension that led to memorable music but also pushed Ondras to his limits.
