Japandroids, a punk/noise rock band from Vancouver, recently caught my attention when I randomly stumbled upon them on Itunes. I have started to really dig guitar/drum bands and I find it impressive that bands such as the Japandroids can create such a full sound with just two instruments. On their debut LP Post-Nothing, the Japandroids have managed to create a busy/noisy style while still playing tight. The vocal melodies and harmonies are equally as powerful, and contain lyrics pertaining to love, rebellion, and the rising youth. I am a fan of the album and especially like the second track, "Young Hearts Spark Fire". If you have any bit of punk in ya, i highly recommend getting this album.

The do sound really full for a two piece. First few time I heard them I had no idea it was just guitar, drums, and vocals. I wonder how they get that sound….???

I think the guitar has alot to do with it. There needs to be full sound out of the guitar at almost all times. Thats not to take away from there drummer though...he also kills it and adds to their fullness...2 piece bands like this still trip me out
