Japandroids Latest Single To Be Released July 20

The Japandroids are still hard at work toiling away on a never ending tour in support of their amazing debut full length Post-Nothing to an insatiable fan base. However, the hard working Vancouver duo still feel they can give more to their devoted followers. Starting in February as an intended five piece series, they began releasing a 7 inch singles on Polyvinyl featuring an original track and a cover for its b-side. The first single "Art Czars" sold out before its release date and the latest offering "Younger Us" has a street date of July 20.

Both tracks have an old school quality that cannot be ignored. "Art Czars" is all teenage rebellion and fist pump chant. With it's military drum roll intro and "Here's your punk rock back" demands, this is a call to arms to kids young and old to flip the bird to the man and snicker at their buddies who are still buying Avenged Sevenfold albums. As a counterpoint, the real draw in "Younger Us" is the reminiscing for when times, and music, was simple, provincial and pure. This feeling maybe not resonate with some people yet. Trust me, it will when you blow the dust off and give a listen to one of your all-time favorites a decade or two later. Oh, and Hüsker Dü circa 1984 is on the phone for Japandroids. They say you're welcome.
