Japandroids
Celebration Rock
(Polyvinyl)
Releasing: 5 June
Japanroids are back with their sophomore outing, Celebration Rock, following the critically acclaimed 2009 debut Post-Nothing. Guitarist Brian King recently told Pitchfork: “On a lot of this new record, we actually tried to simulate the sound of what we thought the crowd would do during the songs,” says King. “Dave (Prowse, drums) and I were in the studio just screaming out as if we were in the audience at our own show.”
You can check out the new tune “The House That Heaven Built” over at Soundcloud and catch the band live at one of the dates below.
