Tokyo Police Club

A Lesson in Crime

Tokyo, Canada, and Texas
over 2 years ago

So after a fun, but tiring trip to the west Texas hill country, I came back to Austin and saw a great Canadian band. Tokyo Police Club released an EP a while ago, and managed some buzz, and I got to see them at Emo’s on Sunday. They Played with white denim, and Ra Ra Riot. White Denim was one of the local bands that I didn’t know about, their sound was jumbled and the band was really energetic

Fuck all of you non-believing hipsters...Apple and iTunes rule! Whilst listening to Cold War Kids I noticed the "Listeners Also Bought" section, which kindly suggested similarly awesome bands for me to check out. Tokyo Police Club was one such band listed next to the likeness of Professor Murder. Well, thought I, if they are listed in the same sentence as Cold War Kids and Professor Murder then...

Dear MOG, I love you. I really do. Have since the day we met back in June. I've preached your virtues to anyone that'll listen and linked to your posts across the web. That's just how great I think you are. Now, I've been gone the last several weeks. SxSW and then a visit home back to Florida so I haven't had any time to spend with you. I know I know. I should MAKE time but hey, when you'...

Who needs a high budget video when you make music as good as this?Tokyo Police Club is the greatest thing to ever come out of Newmarket (unless you're a huge Glass Tiger fan, but don't take my word for it, I wikipedia'd newmarket to see who else came out of that town). I highly recommend checking out their EP A Lesson in Crime. It's 16 minutes long.

Having absolute fuck-all to do with Tokyo and/or the police force, but quite a bit too do with damn fine music.Downlaoded their debut album as part of my continuing adventure in using my 25 free songs thing from eMusic, as it's only 7 racks and one was free.It is all kinds of good. Ever so slightly schizophrenic, but easily listenable straight through. And thats not something i often say about ...

Musical Impatience, Part 2
about 1 year ago

Next up in the cavalcade of bands that need to release something new just to make me happy is Tokyo Police Club.Their last album, 2006's a Lesson In Crime, comes in at a scant 16 minutes and seven tracks -- just barely an album in my book. But it's a fun record, built around some amazing, angular drumming, with a layer of Interpol guitar stylings and retro keyboards tossed on top. If that's no...
