(Words/grovels by Mel Tan) Festival reviews. Generally a good place to describe the weather in hourly increments, tweet-debate the best burger van based on the number of guys with sleeve tatts and flat caps standing in line, maybe say some nice comments about some bands. Like every other media outlet covering this festival this year, I would have liked to wring out some nice prose describing every set in such detail so that anyone who who didn't get along could have heard how awesome Real Estate were, smelt the sweat seeping from the abundance [...]
An Interview with Phillip Taylor of PAWS! Greeted with "Love from Copenhagen!" from PAWS as they embark on their tour was a great kick-off to our interview. I am completely struck with their music in the best of ways; their mix of punk-pop creates an extremely dynamic energy that I can't stop listening to. PAWS' frontman Phillip Taylor generously took the time to answer a few questions on the band's name, favourite bands, heavy metal bands and what's forthcoming! AMBY: For those who haven't heard of you, how would you describe your sound? [...]
After about 2 months since the new album Celebration Rock was released and nearly 5 months since this single was officially released, it looks like we finally have some visuals to accompany one of the top 10 albums of the year so far. Well, sort of. The new video for "The House That Heaven Built" is a more of a compilation of live clips of the Japandroids playing and partying than an actual music video, but at the very least it offers quite the exclusive look into the life of these punk rockers and [...]

Sure enough, Japandroids' new album "Celebration Rock" is every bit as good those bazillion online reviews say it is. Best new music, best new variation of old music, best reason to break things — the latest blast from Canadian duo Brian King and David Prowse is 35 minutes of blood, sweat, cheers and "whoa-oh" choruses that sound authentic. I suppose it took me a minute to get to it because I feared I might pull a muscle, which could still happen, but "Celebration Rock" came out on Polyvinyl this week [ stream it here ], and you should [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Back in 2010, Vancouver rockers Japandroids announced a five-installment seven-inch series. Yet only three slabs of wax ever saw the light of day, leading many fans to wonder if the final pair would ever see the light of day. The singles, a combination covers of artists like Nick Cave and songs the duo were working on around the [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Maoya Bassiouni Fans of Vancouver duo Japandroids have a lot to celebrate with the band's latest, Celebration Rock finally available. But the record almost never happened. The duo's debut, Post-Nothing was supposed to be the period, rather than a comma in their career. "By the end of 2008 we had stopped practicing, stopped working on songs, [...]

Tweet In SGTMT headquarters this week the plague hit. It was sad. I had snot running out of every orifice and poor Tom could barely tie his shoelaces due to the crippling afflictions he suffered (having said that we do normally have to help him with his shoelaces). These dire debilitating diseases meant a truly foul affair took place, we forget the Japandroids . Shock, and then some horror. All is not lost however, because here we are, y'know, writing about [...]
[Check out these new songs from three massive albums we anticipate this year...] Japandroids , "The House That Heaven Built" — When we last saw Japandroids play an FYF Fest set , they revealed a few new songs as they were busy recording their long-awaited follow-up their 2009 debut "Post-Nothing." We finally have a taste of the forthcoming record titled "Celebration Rock" (out June 5 via Polyvinyl), and "The House That Heaven Built" is another tasty slice of pop-punk featuring explosive guitar riffs [...]
Quick, ask Siri to do the math: how many days is it between March 29 and June 5 2012? Answer: 68 days. Or two months and seven days. The same as 1,632 hours. That equals 97,920 minutes. Which breaks down to 5,875,200 seconds. Which is how much longer we have to wait for Japandroids new album, Celebration Rock , to come out. Too long to wait, I know, but in the meantime, we'll get a May 15 release of [...]
Words // Adam Sharp 'The House That Heaven Built'- Japandroids Noisy, brash, full of call and response shouting and a guitar line that makes me feel 15 again. There's not a lot to dislike. ( website ) 'Broken Minds'- Northern Youth A really well-executed, beautifully troubled anthem. ( website ) Northern Youth - Broken Minds 'Winter [...]

In the meantime though, stream "The House That Heaven Built" below, and don't be surprised to find yourself blasting this song on repeat. [...]
Okay, seriously, how did a new track by Japandroids go an entire month before landing on my radar? Especially since, just the other day, I was thinking to myself " What on Earth happened to those guys? " Turns out, in the three long years that have passed since their Post-Nothing debut, after all their exhaustive touring, the boys still had it in 'em to write and record a whole new record. Celebration Rock is an eight-track long player will arrive in June via Polyvinyl , and as lead single "The House That Heaven Built" [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Polyvinyl Vancouver noise duo Japandroids will be covering super-intense rockers Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on upcoming seven-inch vinyl single "The House that Heaven Built," which is set for a May 15 release, according to Polyvinyl Records . Japandroids will knife through Cave's "Jack the Ripper," which should go nicely with the bristling pre-mainstream Against Me !-meets- Handsome [...]
As previously reported around the web, Vancouver rock 'n' roll duo (some may say "garage rock" or "noise pop" duo) Japandroids are set to release their third album, Celebration Rock , on June 5th via Polyvinyl. Today, the guys unleashed a fierce new track, "The House That Heaven Built," from their highly anticipated follow-up to 2009's critically-acclaimed Post-Nothing . Take it for a spin. High volume is recommended. Listen @ SoundCloud If Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band started toying with pop punk, [...]
The hype for Japandroids second album Celebration Rock continues to climb today with the release of "The House That Heaven Built." It's not the first new material from the album that we've heard so far, but it's the first studio version of one since last month's "Art Czars" leak. Listen to the song below and grab the album May 15 on Polyvinyl Records .
I know I haven't had a New Music Tuesday in forever, but (a) the blog has been on hiatus due to vacations and a lack of power at my house from a hurricane (in inland New Jersey!), (b) I've had an ongoing foot problem that has otherwised occupied my time and (c) I haven't actually listened to much new music in a while because I haven't had time to due to (a) & (b). I'd say the only new album I've listened to the last month is Beirut 's brilliant The Rip Tide , for which I share [...]
