LISTEN: Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built/ Jack The Ripper

I've been slightly under the weather this week, hence the lack of regular updates. Expect a couple of long posts around the weekend, probably a few gig reviews and a round-up of March albums. Meanwhile I was pleased to find a new tune from Japandroids doing the rounds. It's called 'The House That Heaven Built' and will be out in mid-May. The band will be touring the UK around then as well. On first listen I'm thinking "summer anthem", what do you reckon?

Now the flipside has emerged - here is their cover of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 'Jack the Ripper'
