Pitchfork

Despite their utterly ridiculous name, the Vancouver duo Japandroids don't make electroclash. Rather, they make shouty, jangled-up anthemic fuzz-rock the way their compatriots in the Constantines do. And real talk: The world could always use more bands who sort of sound like the Constantines.

So we're happy to report that Post-Nothing, Japandroids' first full-length, comes out soon. Unfamiliar will release it in North America on April 28, only on vinyl and digital download. Sorry, CD fetishists. But if you buy the vinyl, the download comes free with it.

And coming up over the next couple of months, the duo will play a few shows in Vancouver and Toronto.

Post-Nothing:

01 The Boys Are Leaving Town
02 Young Hearts Spark Fire
03 Wet Hair
04 Rockers East Vancouver
05 Heart Sweats
06 Crazy/Forever
07 Sovereignty
08 I Quit Girls

02-18 Vancouver, British Columbia - Biltmore Cabaret
03-08 Vancouver, British Columbia - Biltmore Cabaret
03-13 Toronto, Ontario - Gladstone Hotel Ballroom
