Bio :: Japandroids
Japandroids
Japandroids (aka JPNDRDS) are a two-piece band from Vancouver, BC. This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Japandroids were/are/will be 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two-piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.
Japandroids growing reputation as one of Canada's most intense live duos has led to an exhaustive 2008, including opening slots for some of their favorite bands (EARTH, A Place To Bury Strangers, DD/MM/YYYY, etc.) and numerous festival showcases and parties (CMJ, POP Montreal, Sled Island and Music Waste festivals). Watch for the May issue of Exclaim! as you will recognize this buzz band gracing the cover.
