In case you were wondering whether "Jack the Ripper" could get any more aggressive (the song, people!), congratulations, Japandroids. While Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds succeeded at establishing a gothic vibe, the Vancouver two-piece establish the vehemence. We blame the lack of acoustic guitar, and everything else.
