Vancouver two-piece Japandroids have released their new album, Post-Nothing, through Polyvinyl and, if you haven’t, you better pick it up. Most 90s-influenced rock leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth, reminding me of too many Midwestern bar bands that just can’t seem to crawl out of the era. Post-Nothing seems to tap into something different - "gut-level concerns" as P4K puts it or "young, male, infatuated with the promise of the present" (SPIN). For me, it feels like that era when Smashing Pumpkins (not that Japandroids sounds much like SP) was really good crossed with all the trouble and hi-jinx I managed to find myself in, now and then, as a late teen.
