rock/pop

Brian King and David Prowse always meant to make their garage rock outfit a trio but never got around to finding a lead singer. The result? Paired with a heavy helping of fuzzed-out reverb and a driving guitar-drums setup, the vocals sound like you’re with your buddies — in the car, at a party, at the bar — sing-screaming your favorite song. But the songs off Japandroids’ debut LP, Post-Nothing, aren’t your favorites. Yet.
