With the upbeat, pop punk guitar and drums paired with angst-ridden lyrics, the listener enters this world and holds on tight for the remainder of the album. The opening title track “Near to the Wild Heart of Life” catapults the listener into the frenetic world of Japandroids. That same energy is apparent on Near to the Wild Heart of Life. As they began to tour, the group became known for their wild and raw performances. After a rocky start that almost ended the duo’s careers before they even began, Japandroids were officially formed in 2006 by Brian King and David Prowse and they later found mainstream success in 2009 with their debut album Post-Nothing. What started as a band that wanted to capture the manic energy and raw sound of garage rock slowly transformed into the one that we know today.
