Year-end favorites lists are rolling in left and right, and it's great to see the critical acclaim keeps coming for Japandroids. The band's "Younger Us," the A Side to the second release of their 7" series, was named Pitchfork's #42 best song of the year. The 7" series was the band's way of giving back to fans, so they could hear new material without having to wait until a proper album came out. Click the link below to see Pitchfork's top 50.

Japandroids' new single, "Younger Us," has been out in the internet world for a whole 24 hours now and has already gained traction amongst various sites, including Best New Music on Pitchfork.

This year's CMJ Music Festival was one for the books! Even though NYC was pretty much flooded the whole time, festival goers still found time to attend multiple shows and parties going on throughout the city. Nick from Headlights even found some time to crowd surf (above)! Now that everything's over, and people have to get back to their real lives, the internet world has been posting tons of articles about the Polyvinyl artists that were present at this year's festival. Check out sites like Village Voice, Brooklyn Vegan, Stereogum, Prefix, SPIN and more for articles about the festival. Above photo by Carlye Wisel.

Japandroids' current tour with Mt. St. Helen's Vietnam Band has been a huge success so far. Their show at the Mercury Lounge in New York sold out so fast that they had to book another show a couple days later to make up for it.
