Who: Japandroids vs. The Oh SeesTimes: 3:00pm vs. 3:30pm
Hometown: Vancouver, Canada vs. San Francisco, CA
Thoughts: This is easily one of the toughest slots to choose between and I will in fact attempt to run between the stages and catch parts of both of their sets, but you guys need to know which one to see so we'll try to break it down quick. Both bands hail from the West Coast though Japandroids are a lot further north up in Vancouver as opposed to San Francisco. Both bands have ridden waves of buzz this year, both revel in a bit of noise, and they would probably be better suited playing back-to-back rather then at similar times on opposing stages. Sorry, I'm dragging this out aren't I. Phew, I like both bands a lot but I'm gonna have to see that Japandroids are just millimeters better. Seriously it's really close so listen to each band and choose your own fave please!
Verdict: Japandroids!
Listen: Japandroids - "Wet Hair"
Thee Oh Sees - "Rainbow"

I saw Japandroids at Cameo last weekend and I've got to say, they are very good live but very disillusioning as well. To steal an obscure pun from Los Campesinos....I think 2009 was the year punk broke my heart.
Thee Oh Sees are not as good a band, but they won't make you hate humanity quite as much either.
