Release
No Singles is a compilation album consisting of Japandroids' first two EPs: Lullaby Death Jams (2008) and All Lies (2007). Released by Polyvinyl Record Co. on 11 May 2010, the compilation represents all of Japandroids' recorded material prior to the release of their debut album, 2009's Post-Nothing.
Both EPs were originally self-released by the band, and had previously been out of print. Each one was remastered by John Golden for this release. A booklet included with No Singles details Japandroids’ early history, with rare photos, show fliers, etc. The band has stated that the re-release of their earliest material in 2010 was strictly designed to appease fans' desire for more music, as they would not be able to record a 2nd album until 2011 due to an extensive touring schedule.
The title of "Darkness on the Edge of Gastown" is a dual reference to Bruce Springsteen's 1978 Darkness on the Edge of Town album and the Gastown neighbourhood of Vancouver.
