Vancouver duo Japandroids have just signed with Polyvinyl Records and we'll all finally see the release of their third spazzed-out-rock record, Post-Nothing, this September. They'll be playing a few dates around town this week on their spring tour and in ten days, they'll hit the stage at the Village Voice Siren Festival. So, to get you in the mood for these local dates (and the festival ones too), here's the new single from the boys, "Young Hearts Spark Fire", a jangly, noise rock anthem full of shouts, driving drum beats and an infectious, fists-in-the-air chorus.
