Post-Nothing

Unfamiliar

Japandroids are hard rockin' indie types out of Vancouver, and Post-Nothing is nothing if not pissy, pounding lunacy that'd likely slay in a live environment.

Much like The White Stripes and No Age, Japandroids have just two members. And much like those two-piece terrors, they're able to rustle up quite a racket in spite of their modest formation. "The Boys Are Leaving Town" and "Wet Hair" bristle with a ton of urgency and heart, but the band also manage to sate interest levels on six-minute-plus tracks like "Crazy/Forever."

There's already a steady buzz building for Japandroids in Canada and beyond. Make no mistake, Post-Nothing is going to make some pretty stellar cannon fodder if these guys blow up. This is great stuff all around.
