As per Japandroids Facebook page, the vinyl release of their new 2017 album ‘Massey F**king Hall‘ has been delayed due the the Covid-19 pandemic.  The vinyl release is a live performance from their 2017 tour which heavily promoted the bands third album ‘Near to the wild heart of life’.   For those of you not aware, Japandroids are an extremely popular Vancouver alternative rock band that formed in 2006 and consists of two members, Brian King (Guitar, Vocals) and David Prowse (Drums and Vocals).  A two-piece band that can seemingly create more noise than the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, these two have been doing it for a long time and doing it well.  After they began touring they quickly became known for their extremely energetic performances, sending crowds into a tizzy with their frenzied guitar riffs and thunderous drum beats.  And has been no waning success for the band in recent years, their sound has evolved slightly over the years to something a little less in your face, but success and quality of sound just the same.  Festivals they’ve

performed at include Pitchfork Music Festival, Sasquatch!, Bonnaroo, Osheaga Festival, Roskilde Festival, and Primavera Sound.  The album ‘Near to the wild heart of life‘ was a commercial success landing the duo on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as well as The Late Show with Seth Meyers.  If you haven’t heard them before, well here’s your chance.  This video for the song ‘North East South West’ off of the aforementioned ‘Near the Wild Heart of Life’ has a quite a Canadian vibe to it don’t you think?  With lyrics like “Flayed and gutted, so I’ve got to go, Back home, hungry for a hand to hold, And no matter how much I fan the flames, Canada always answers when I call her name”, I find it particularly charming.
