Review
"Japandroids have a point of view and an M.O., but more impressively, they've mastered another secret to swaying the public: confidence without smugness." --Spin
Product Description
Japandroids (JPNDRDS) is a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intending to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a 'lead singer' and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids are one guitar, one set of drums, and two vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.

Format:Audio CD
Listening to this reminds me of lots of early 90's noise-punk, emo, post-rock type stuff. The biggest influence I hear doesn't have to do with the songs, but rather the sound. It has a siamese dream like wall of sound and fuzz. It's quite impressive. It's a fun record. Took me about 3 full listens before I could sing along to some of it. It's sincere stuff. I like.

Polyvinyl has a stacked lineup and this is just another link in the chain for this label. Great sound, great songs, infectious energy.

No singles and Celebration rock better. If not for those I would have rated it 5 stars, but in comparison it is only a 4.

Great album.
Just about every song is great. There is a great energy here and it's really fun to listen too. This isn't the type of album that everyone is going to like, but fans of distorted... Read more

It will grow without water...
The first time i listened to Post-Nothing it was a real "WTF" kind of moment. Almost as if you were playing albums from two different artists at the same time. Read more

An album to share
There are always two kinds of music fans. The type that listen to the hype a band generates and the kind that listen with a critical ear. I've always been the first. Read more

Contender for 2009 album of the year (or at least should be)
This album flies by in the blink of a twitching lazy eye. However, at the end you'll feel very satisfied. Read more
