Formed in 2006, the band rose to prominence following the release of their debut album Post-Nothing (2009). Their second album, Celebration Rock (2012), was released to widespread critical acclaim,[4] with Rolling Stone calling it one of The 10 Coolest Summer Albums of All Time, and Spin naming the duo Band of the Year.[5][6] Japandroids toured heavily in support of both albums, gaining notoriety for their live performances[7][8] and extensive international concert tours.[9] Between 2009 and 2013, the band performed approximately 500 shows in 44 countries.[10]
Japandroids' music has been described as "one part classic rock, one part punk",[11] due to their blending of classic rock influences such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, with punk rock influences such as the Replacements and Hüsker Dü.[12][13][14][15]
