This year's Bonnaroo festival was nuts! On top of the 100+ degree weather, the crowd was going bananas! NPR was at the festival and caught Japandroids as they braved the heat and destroyed the stage. Click the link below to check out a live recording of their whole set, which features the new single, "Younger Us."

Look out! Japandroids are at it again with their new 7" titled Younger Us. Younger Us is the 2nd installment in the 5-part 7" series being released throughout 2010 and features the title track on the A-side along with a cover of X's "Sex and Dying in High Society" on the B-side.

Just like the Art Czars 7", Younger Us will be on limited clear vinyl and includes an instant MP3 download. Art Czars sold out before street date, so I'd advise you all to pre-order a copy of Younger Us for yourself while you can. Click the link below to order!

Japandroids just finished up their time in the UK at Brighton's Great Escape Festival (plus a few other dates with Yuck) and the response has been amazing! Tons of places have posted articles on the band including Drowned in Sound, The Fly, Dazed Digital, Tunited, God Is In The TV, and more. If you were stuck here in the States like me and couldn't make it to these great shows, click the links below to become enlightened. Above photo by Andy Cook.

Shoes are sweet. Especially Saucony shoes because they're offering a FREE "Perfect Pairs" digital 45 download featuring Japandroids & Best Coast. It's only being offered for a limited time, so click the link below to check it out.

Japandroids recently cruised through the good ole Bay Area and played a show with Avi Buffalo at The Independent in San Francisco. 7x7 was there and got some great photos! Check out the one above by Misha Vladimirskiy then follow the link to view more.

Sometimes it's cool to be a dirtbag. And if you're a journalist, it's even cooler! Japandroids got a chance to sit down with the website Dirtbag Journalism to talk about how the band got where they are today. Check out the article by clicking the link below.

David Marchese wrote a great little article for The SPIN Blog about Japandroids' performance at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC last week. Check out the article, "The Japandroids Will Improve Your Life," by clicking the link below. Best title ever!

Well, they didn't actually give the band a high-five, but a few great publications such as Time Out NY, Beyond Race Magazine, Prefix, and others wrote GREAT live reviews for the band's show w/ Best Coast at The Bowery Ballroom in NYC. For everyone who wasn't lucky enough to be there (like me) then click the link below to check out the reviews.

Japandroids were nonstop at SXSW this year. They played a total of 9 times in 4 days! Now if that's not impressive, I don't know what is. Tons of publications like SPIN, The Tripwire, Pitchfork, Time Out NY, You Aint No Picasso, and others have posted some excellent reviews/photos. If you weren't in Austin for the festival, click the links below to read up on what you missed! Above photo by Matt Jordan.

Aside from a few road blocks (me getting food poisoning, Seth losing his ID, and Danielle and Chris getting screwed by a cabbie) the PV crew is having a great time at this year's SXSW. A few of our bands have already played a couple great parties, resulting in some fun photos. Check out one of Japandroids at the Death + Taxes day party, then click the link below to visit the PV Tumblr for more.
