JPNSGRLS — pronounced "Japanese Girls" — formed in Vancouver in 2010 with a lineup that includes Charlie Kerr, Oliver Mann, Chris McClelland & Graham Serl. The band made their debut with The Sharkweek EP in 2013, on Light Organ Records. For their first full length, Circulation, also on Light Organ, the outfit hunkered down in Vancouver's Greenhouse Studios with producer Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat, Mounties). The twelve songs, mastered by world-renowned engineer Greg Calbi (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, St. Vincent), were tracked in just seven days and mix straight-out-of-the-garage noisiness with earworm hooks and genre-jumping eclecticism. Circulation, along with their whirlwind live show honed supporting July Talk & Mounties and festival slots at CMJ (Top Ten Bands To Watch 2014 - CMJ.com), NXNE and soon SXSW, presents JPNSGRLS as a force to be reckoned with in 2015.

“Frantic indie rock from the next Canadian Arctic Monkeys.” – Top Ten Artists to See, CMJ.com

“Judging by the energy these guys played with, you’d think they were playing Madison Square Garden. One thing that’s for sure, these guys will definitely be playing much larger venues.” – Pancakes and Whiskey

“They bring together some of the best music of the rock and punk genres – perhaps even without realising it – and put it all in a blender, and the result is JPNSGRLS… With fantastic energy, a charismatic frontman, a sound wholly their own and the music to back it all up – JPNSGRLS are a band to put on your “must watch” list.” – The AU Review

"Fans were singing the songs, screaming at every move and were totally into the band – all this only possible because the band worked hard to make sure that every previous performance had built up momentum to this success.” – Power of Pop

“This quartet from Vancouver was one of BIME’s revelations. Despite being unknown in Spain, they soon won over the public with their frenetic energy” – Vim Magazine
