Recently I started listening to the Japandroids's new album Celebration Rock, and I would just like the say that this album is amazing. It came out in June, but I neglected to listen to it until now. The album has a mixture of punk and classic rock infused in it. Listen to the first track on the album, and you can immediately see the influences in it.
It's pretty incredible that a Canadian duo could put something like that out. The album has reached 37th on the Billboard 200, which is rare for a band that produces music like this. The second song on the album is my favorite.
The band is touring right now, and in December they will come to the Black Cat, a local DC night club. Unfortunately the show has sold out, and I won't be able to see them live.
In my opinion, this band represents hope for musicians like me. The band is just a drummer and a guitarist. I play guitar, so if I could ever find a drummer, I could emulate the Japandroids. Of course writing music would present quite a big challenge, and I never in my wildest dreams would expect to be a member of a successful band, but hey anything can happen.
This band is unique, and I've never heard anything like it. It is exciting for me to listen to, and hopefully the band becomes more popular because this album needs to get heard. Whenever I feel down because West Virginia lost, I just play the record, and things get better.
I'll leave you with the band's most popular song off the new album. I can't wait to see what the Japandroids come out with next.
