Japandroids To Reissue Old EPs

For me, the only thing I was disappointed with in Japandroids’ stellar Post-Nothing was that it only had 8 tracks. Thankfully Japandroids are solving this problem. On May 11, Polyvinyl will reissue both Japandroids’ 2007 EP All Lies and 2008's Lullaby as one compilation titled No Singles on CD and LP. Polyvinyl has also released a track from the album titled “Darkness on the Edge of Gastown” to tide us over. It is definitely a lot rawer than what was on Post-Nothing, but it still has that great guitar-and-drums-slamming-against-a-brick-wall sound that Japandroids are able to produce.

In other Japandroids news, I am sure you have heard about their 7 inch single series taking place over this year. The first single goes on sale April 15 and pre-orders are still going on here. Furthermore, the band is still playing a massive tour schedule, so at least catch one them at that end.
