Japandroids discography

The discography of Japandroids, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based rock duo, consists of two studio albums, two extended plays (EP), and four 7" singles.

After self-releasing two EPs, Japandroids signed to independent Canadian label Unfamiliar Records. Their debut album, Post-Nothing was released in Canada on April 28, 2009, originally on vinyl only (Unfamiliar had offered to press Post-Nothing on either CD or LP, but not both, with the band opting for an LP release). Japandroids were subsequently signed to Polyvinyl Record Co. in June 2009. Post-Nothing was released worldwide on August 4, 2009 to widespread critical acclaim, especially in Canada where Exclaim! named it the second best album of 2009. It was long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize as well as nominated for the Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. The album was also well-received internationally, appearing on many year-end lists including Pitchfork Media (#15), SPIN (#16), NME (#39), The A.V. Club (#25), Pop Matters (#35), Stereogum (#21), and reached #22 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Initially, the duo desired to include several more tracks on the album, but were unable due to insufficient funds. A few of the un-included tracks that the duo had written for the album were later recorded and released in 2010 as series of limited edition 7" singles. The same year, Japandroids re-released their first two EPs as a compilation titled No Singles.

On March 26, 2012, Japandroids announced that their second album Celebration Rock would be released by Polyvinyl Record Co. on June 5, 2012. Additionally, they announced that a limited edition 7" of the album's first single "The House That Heaven Built" would be released on May 15, 2012.
