Video: Where Japandroids go, mayhem and destruction follow

Japandroids get it together in the country before tour mayhem ensures

Canada’s Japandroids (not to be confused with Japan’s Canadadroids) are heading over to the UK for a tour in October.

Track: Japandroids – The House That Heaven Built

File under: swing that wrecking ball

The House That Heaven Built is taken from Japandroids’ most recent full-length Celebration Rock, which came out in June.

The album has been described as a mix between punk and classic rock, with a wide range of influences including The Replacements, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and The Hold Steady.

Dave Prowse (he’s Japandroids’ drummer/vocalist, not to be confused with the Green Cross Code/Star Wars guy) has also cited Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction as an influence.

The band have got the following dates lined up:

Oct 26 London Heaven
Oct 27 Manchester Sound Control
Oct 29 Sheffield The Harley
Oct 30 Birmingham Hare & Hounds

If the tour is anything like the scenes in the video below, some outta control times await. Make sure you watch the clip right to the end when a potentially worrying situation is redeemed by the question: “How much do you love Japandroids?” And the response: “I love them.” Let’s be careful out there.
