Japandroids Singles Series Coming

Japandroids will release five seven-inch singles this year beginning on April 13.

The first track will be a new tune called "Art Czars," which will be backed by their version of Big Black's "Racer X." It's coming out on clear vinyl, and there are only 2,000 copies available — as will be the case with each single.

All the discs will feature previously unreleased tunes written while the duo were recording last year's Polaris Music Prize long listed Post-Nothing and covers as B-sides.

You can pre-order "Art Czars" here.

You can see singer/guitarist Brian King and drummer Dave drummer/vocalist David Prowse here:
