I'm surprised you've heard of Two Gallants. They've been around a little while now, but they're pretty obscure. They played here last week in a small all-ages club. I definitely recommend checking out Japandroids. Great, straight up rock songs.
Cool, thanks for the tips! If you dig The Wallflowers, you may like Arliss Nancy. I've heard them referred to as a "punk rock Wallflowers" and it kind of fits -- in a good way.

As for Two Gallants, maybe I haven't heard of them but the name just sounds somewhat familiar. Not sure why... Also, one of my favorite artists, Dave Hause recommends Japandroids as well for a 2012 pick, so I'll have to check them out. I think I'll have to take a trip to the record store today.

That record's probably my favorite of the year and the biggest surprise. The title song is one of the best things I've heard in a long time. Best comeback of the year (of the last 5 years)...

For me, no question:

Eddie's guitar work on this album is some of his best. His style went back to the aggressive rhythm that nearly stopped when Hagar joined the band. It's great to see him back and better than ever.
