Japandroids are a Vancouver duo made up of Brian King on guitar and David Prowse on drums. Like other rock duos with the same instrumentation (i.e. The White Stripes of old and The Black Keys), this band packs quite a hefty punch.
Celebration Rock, the band's sophomore LP, may be their best yet. The band certainly isn't reinventing the wheel, but who gives a shit... it's rock n' roll!
Celebration Rock is certainly the most aptly named album of the year. From The Who, to BRUCE, to some Hold Steady, this album takes just a bit from some of Rocks great forerunners and adds the spice of some serious punk. "Fire's Highway" is the song that most certainly embodies this notion. To quote Dylan before playing "Like a Rolling Stone" on the
No Direction Home Soundtrack, "PLAY IT FUCKING LOUD!"
