#10: Japandroids - Celebration Rock
One of my favourite things with listening to new music, is finding something new that you instantly connect with. I came across Japandroids on a music blog (ironically on the best albums of 2012 so far), liked the sound of the write up and checked them out on Spotify . A due from Canada, Japandroids have been around since 2006 but have not had massive exposure on this side of the Atlantic. Its difficult to put their sound into a genre, but at a push I suppose you’d call it Garage Rock. It’s high energy, fast paced and sounds more like a five piece band than a two piece band. There’s one, guitar, one drum kit with both members singing. The album is eight tracks long and whilst some take a few listens to fully appreciate, the likes of Fires Highway and Younger Us hook you in straight away.
Favourite Track: Fires Highway
