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. Pitchfork awarded 'Best New Music' to both the album and lead single "Young Hearts Spark Fire", helping to expose the band to a large audience outside of Canada.^[1][2] Japandroids were subsequently signed to Polyvinyl, who re-released the album worldwide on August 4, 2009.^[3] Many 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.^[4] These tracks include "Art Czars", "Younger Us", and "Heavenward Grand Prix". The same year, Japandroids re-released their first two EPs as a compilation titled No Singles.

Japandroids' second album, Celebration Rock, was released by Polyvinyl on June 5, 2012, preceded by a limited edition 7" of the album's first single "The House That Heaven Built".^[5][6] The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, appearing on many year-end best-of lists. The Globe and Mail named it the best Canadian album of 2012, while CBC declared it the best rock album of the year, later ranking it #91 on its list of The 100 Greatest Canadian Albums Ever.^[7][8][9] Their third album, Near to the Wild Heart of Life, was released on January 27, 2017, by ANTI-.^[10]
