Japandroids share propulsive new track ‘All Bets Are Off’

Japandroids have shared a propulsive new track called ‘All Bets Are Off’ – check it out below.

The track is taken from their upcoming final album, ‘Fate & Alcohol’ and will be the record’s closing song.

The Canadian rock band will release their fourth and final studio album via ANTI- on October 18. Their last full-length was 2017’s ‘Near to the Wild Heart of Life’, with the band releasing live album ‘Live at Massey Hall’ in 2020.

The latest song is inspired by singer-guitarist Brian King’s tour diary on a night off, where he spotted an old flame at a bar.

Meanwhile, speaking about the album recently, King said: “As a band, you always want to feel like you’re progressing while simultaneously preserving what’s unique about you. This record combines the energy and abandon of the first two with the storytelling of Near to the Wild Heart of Life – youthful exuberance but tempered with a point of view, of life lived.”

“I don’t think we’re the most technically proficient band in the world,” David Prowse said of their legacy. “And we’re not the most original-sounding or challenging band in the world. But we’ve always put a lot of passion into what we do, and I think that’s resonated with a lot of people. And I’m really grateful that we could be that band for people, in the same way that so many bands were for us.”

Back in July, the band announced their final record with the soaring single, ‘Chicago’. King said whilst the band tried to “broaden the definition of a Japandroids song” on their previous record, “This time, we tried to split the difference, and made certain that every song ripped in our jam space before Jesse [Gander, engineer] ever heard it.

“If you listen to our first demo of “Chicago,” it’s obviously much rougher than what you hear on record, but it’s all there,” he continued. “Even on a blown-out iPhone recording, the energy was obvious and the feeling cut through loud and clear.”
