Canadian noise-rock duo, Japandroids have topped a poll to become the new entrance music for NHL hockey team, Vancouver Canucks.
Japandroids, who are from Vancouver themselves, will see their track ‘The House That Heaven Built’ from last year’s Celebration Rock replace current entrance music, U2′s ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’, for the next two games.
It beat the likes of Nickelback and Guns N Roses, who were also in the shortlist.
Check out what the spectacle will look like below:
