Japandroids to release third 7” in series of five

Polyvinyl has announced the release of ‘Heavenward Grand Prix’, the third single in Japandroids 7" series which will be available 15th November in the UK. The third single includes the A-side title track ‘Heavenward Grand Prix’, along with a B-side cover of PJ Harvey's ‘Shame’ and will be limited to 2000 copies.

As previously reported, the entire series will yield five singles, each limited edition on clear vinyl and for sale in digital format. Each single will include an A-side featuring previously unreleased material from the ‘Post-Nothing’ sessions, and a cover B-side. Japandroids devised the 7" series as a way to give something back to their fans while the band is in the midst of heavy touring and unable to record a full album. Each two-song 7" will be recorded at the Hive in Vancouver, BC (where ‘Post-Nothing’ was recorded) during the brief periods of time the band is at home between tours. The previous two 7"s have sold very quickly.

Japandroids are currently on another extensive tour throughout North America with The Walkmen.
