Celebration Rock

Japandroids' second full-length album Celebration Rock is a thrilling rock records, a concise collection of songs that split the difference between the arena-ready anthems of Bruce Springsteen and the raw, full-throttle energy of hardcore punk. The Canadian duo made the album following a tremendously eventful period in which their first LP, Post-Nothing, became a hit among online music fans shortly after they essentially broke up, and king suffered a perforated ulcer that nearly ended his life. Celebration Rock includes the excellent 2010 single 'Younger Us', a cover of the Gun Club's 'For the Love of Ivy', along with six more relentlessly over-driven tracks that will most likely keep the 'whoa-oh-ohs' going for quite some time.
