Background notes
Archive material and source history
Japandroids are a Vancouver duo, Brian King on guitar and vocals with David Prowse on drums. They started playing together after meeting at a house party in 2006. Their early sound was built from punk and garage rock, with songs like 'Wet Hair' and 'Sovereignty' capturing that raw, energetic feel.
Their debut EP 'Post-Nothing' came out in 2009, followed by a full-length album of the same name in 2010. That record earned them a Juno Award for New Group of the Year. The 2012 album 'Celebration Rock' included tracks such as 'The Boys Are Leaving Town' and 'Continuous Thunder,' which became staples of their live sets.
They've released other albums like 'Near to the Wild Heart of Life' in 2017 and 'Maschinist' in 2018. Their music tends to be loud and direct, built around King's guitar work and Prowse's drumming. It's the kind of sound that works well in a live setting, where the energy comes through clearly.
