Description
"A guitar-and-drums duo, Japandroids plays cacophonous, careening rock 'n' roll that's bolstered by the raw, honest and sometimes heartbreaking sincerity of its lyrics." --NPR"This is terminally catchy music played with punk's enthusiasm and velocity, and maybe it's the fact that there's only two dudes in this band that makes you feel like joining in to bash along." -PITCHFORK
"Japandroids have a point of view (young, male, infatuated with the promise of the present) and an M.O. (excellently fuzzed-out garage rock played as if at the apocalypse), but more impressively, they've mastered another secret to swaying the public: confidence without smugness." -SPIN
"The West Palm Beach, Fla., foursome of Surfer Blood (formerly known as TV Club) come to us with an irresistibly catchy piece of, well, surf-y rock, at least (also a bit Weezer-esque in a very good way). The track's opening salvo of distorted guitar riffs and heavily reverbed vocals is quickly followed by the punchy eponymous chorus before settling into the island groove of the middle section that builds back up to the anthemic end." --Pitchfork
New wave punk rock good times! "They're young and have the feel good party indie rock vibe. Lead singer Sierra also did vox for Elephone and she's well on her way to holding the torch as San Francisco's premiere female rocker to watch catapult to international celebrity." - SF GATE
