Jul 10, 2020Massey Fucking Hall captures Japandroids in this unique (for them at least) setting at the peak of their powers.

Sep 29, 2020A superb dose of head-banging fun by way of The House That Heaven Built brings this record to a joyous conclusion, and caps off an experience courtesy of Japandroids that overflows with vitality.

Jul 14, 2020The band’s love for what they do and for its fans is on full display throughout their entire performance on Massey Fucking Hall. While it surely isn’t quite as electrifying as being there yourself, in 2020, this is among the best live shows within reach.
-
Jul 10, 2020Brian King and David Prowse traffic in exhilarating rock and roll that fuels climactic moments throughout the course of a live show and on this night, the two musicians pulled tracks from all three of their upbeat studio releases. That stated, this live capturing does not improve on any of the songs presented on Post-Nothing, Celebration Rock or Near to the Wild Heart of Life, yet for the duo’s fans, it will recall fond memories of shows past.

Jul 10, 2020What makes Massey Fucking Hall an overall success is that it represents a particularly visceral aspect of live performance - not the communion with other fans, or the technical achievement that comes with a particularly slick stage show, but instead the primal joy of noisy, boisterous rock and roll.

Jul 10, 2020The Post-Nothing cuts fare best; they had fewer moving parts and thus didn’t suffer from being played sloppily or off-key.
