Japandroids

Japandroids (JPNDRDS) are a two piece band from Vancouver, BC. This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a 'lead singer' and do it themselves.

Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.
