Having signed to Polyvinyl (home to of Montreal amongst others), Japandroids debut album Post-Nothing is released in the UK on September 7th.
Like a half-way house between The Sonics and Mclusky, Japandroids fuse together lo-fi production with punk’s spittle-flecked velocity. What marks the band out from other guitar/drums duos is their rip-roaring melodies are never compromised by the band’s visceral energy and lo-fi production.
Japandroids are:
Brian King – Guitar/Vocals
David Prowse – Drums/Vocals
“One of the best albums of the year” - NME
“Very exciting” - Music Week
““One of the most out-and-out enjoyable rock records of the year” - Pitchfork, ‘Best New Music’
“This album has the beauty of controlled chaos” - FILTER
“Japandroids have a point of view (young, male, infatuated with the promise of the present) and an M.O. (excellently fuzzed out garage rock played as if at the apocalypse), but more impressively, they 've mastered another secret to swaying the public: confidence without smugness.” – SPIN
