Japandroids
You hear the band name “Japandroids”, maybe you think “Haircut 100 Tribute Band”? Something like that. Definitely an 80s synth-pop thing going on here.
Uh-uh.
Think more along the lines of classic NZ noisemeisters Bailter Space, shimmering waves of melodic noise. Great stuff. In this video from KEXP, they take Big Black's classic “Racer X” and make it their own.
They’re currently touring the world and releasing a single every two months that includes an interesting cover on the B-side. The first one, which had Racer X on it, is sold out, but you can get their new Younger Us single b/w a cover of X’s “Sex and Dying in High Society”. While you’re there, feel free to buy their two albums as well. Great stuff.
