2008 has already been a big year for Tokyo Police Club. With a top selling record in Elephant Shell and a successful world tour well underway, everything is coming up roses for this band from Ontario. Their label, Saddle Creek, today just authorized the release of the "Tessellate Remix" by Tom Campesinos (of Los Campesinos!). Here is the remix for free download, along with the original version of "Tessellate" - you tell me what you think of each....All Bridge, No Trolls - Tokyo Police ClubBRAND NEW REMIX TODAY:Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate (Tom Campesinos remix) ALBUM VERSION:Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate The New Album (In Stores Now):TESSELLATE MUSIC VIDEO:TOKYO POLICE CLUBMyspace (Tour Dates) / Web (Everything Else)

Dopo due EP, per i canadesi Tokyo Police Club è arrivato il momento dell'album d'esordio, "Elephant Shell", che in Europa uscirà il 5 maggio. "Tessellate" è il primo singolo estratto, anche se prima dell'uscita del disco era stato distribuito il brano "Your English Is Good", che adesso è stato incluso nell'album."Tessellate" è una canzone semplice nella struttura, ma che si fa apprezzare. La batteria che martella con regolarità, la chitarra che si inserisce con una bella melodia insieme alle tastiere, la voce nasale del cantate e poi i battiti di mani che rendono il tutto più divertente.Eccone il video:MySpace: www.myspace.com/tokyopoliceclub

So I was all set to write this grandiose review of a free show Tokyo Police Club played in Brooklyn last night. But then Tokyo Police Club had only their lead singer perform. And then said singer David Monks busted out all by himself with just an acoustic guitar, walking off stage after four songs. And then I was pissed

11 songs, 28 minutes. That’s all we get. That shit may not have flown in 1972, but this is 2008, an age where yogurt comes in tubes and kids would rather roll around the mall on Heelys than walk to Mrs. Fields to get their sugar fix.

Wait, Tokyo Police Club hasn’t even released a full album? How did they sell out New York, San Fran and Toronto? It’s because of blogs, isn’t it. Blogs offer the promise of newness without any of that “hard evidence” crap. Which is why we live in the age of Vampire Weekend, a band that is [...]

When the good folks at the Tripwire say that “Canada’s Tokyo Police Club is finally putting out their debut Saddle Creek record, Elephant Shell, next month”, I can not agree more with the emphasis on finally. A band lots of us have been excited about but never seem to give us more than 3 [...]

One of the notable indie label Saddlecreek Record's (home to Bright Eyes, Two Gallants, The Faint) hottest artists right now is the Toronto band Tokyo Police Club.The band's 2006 debut album, A Lesson in Crime, was well received by music critics and indie rock bloggers. The album was so popular that it has nearly carried the band for the past 18 months while they have been touring and working on their sophomore release.The new album, which the band's official website has announced will be released on April 22, is called Elephant Shell. In Europe, it will the new TPC release will be available May 5th on Memphis Industries.Here is the reported track listing for the new album:01 Centennial02 In A Cave03 Graves04 Juno05 Tessellate06 Sixties Remake07 The Harrowing Adventures Of…08 Nursery Aca

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"Tokyo Police Club - the dynamic and cleverly named Canadian garage band with a huge international following will release a brand new EP on November 6. TPC have been all the rage this year after touring with Cold War Kids, Delta Spirit and Art Brut, among others. It's the kind of exposure that money just can't buy. The band hopes this four-song release (three of which are "b" sides - previously only available on vinyl and overseas and another track here is a RAC remix) and the three live videos in the collection will hold you over until a full-length album.Clever marketing of "The Smith EP" will give fans a chance to get a copy of the four-song disc autographed by the band. This one sounds like a must-have!HOT NEW RELEASE: TOKYO POLICE CLUB* Two UK 7” vinyl B-Sides: "Box" and "Cut Cut Paste"* "A Lesson In Crime," only previously available as a Japanese bonus track* RAC remix for "Be Good"* The award-winning video for "Cheer It On"* "Nature of the Experiment" video* M

Tokyo Police Club are getting ready to release a new EP from Canadian label Paper Bag Records on November 6th here in the states, and the EP is already making its way across fine indie shops in Canada. The new EP is made up of material that you may already be familiar with, but also comes with some great new TPC videos. If you pre-order the EP from the Paperbag site, you also get a really fun little CD sampler from the label, which I just got my hands on. Among other things on the sampler, is a Tokyo Police Club remix (below) and remixes for songs from Under Byen, You Say Party! We Say Die! and Sally Shapiro. Enjoy the remix, and also a Tokyo Police Club I wish had made it onto this EP, Your English Is Good. Tokyo Police Club - Cheer It On (Trey Told Em Remix) Tokyo Police Club - Your English Is Good

True to form, Canadian pop-rockers Tokyo Police Club’s latest single is another excellently jovial slice of upbeat jangles and hand-clapping try-this-at-home bits. It ain’t rocket science, but that’s its charm. Take a synth and some drums, some shout-happy youths and some guitar riffery straight outta NYC’s coolest clubs, and bingo: this. ‘Your English Is Good’ is let down, rather, by its release date: this is super summer fare, so it’s devastating that the English weather has failed to fulfil its part of a bargain, leaving Tokyo Police Club a sunny afternoon short of the perfect indie-pop party. Still, come the clearing of the clouds, this should force its way to the forefront of your personal playlist – it’s simply so chipper that avoiding its charms should be as difficult as avoiding the irritation that is the current top 10. Yeah, you could call it post-Strokes of style, but be fair: the New Yorkers haven’t sounded this incessantly vital, and this fun, for ye

At first, this sounds like a trifle: two confident minutes of throbbing bass and lustrous keyboards played by a band that didn’t get the memo that even the Killers have moved on to aping Springsteen. But on second listen “The Nature Of The Experiment,” the best song off Tokyo Police Club’s exuberant debut EP, proves to be an essential 121 seconds of crisp drums, teasingly tense guitars and babytalked backup singing. Like the Strokes on Clearasil, the teenage Canadian quartet winds their tight pop hooks around muffled croon and twitchy-cool rhythms, but unlike jaded New York types, Tokyo Police Club are too young for restless, urban ennui and remarkably free of too-cool-for-school ironic detachment. (Which is to say that, though they sound like they’re playing in skinny, black suits, they actually look like relatively nondescript teens.) Singer/bassist David Monks earnestly and enthusiastically delivers po-mo lyrics that are peppered with nonsensical sci-fi stories and cheeky

Top-bottom: NSX, GTO (and Skyline just visible), RX-8Pics of some awesome Japanese police cars from TeamTokyo@GTChannel. No word on whether these are actual patrol cars or just promotional/publicity tools like the recent Ferrari 599 squad car in the UK. Anyone know for sure? Rumour has it our own Gardai are getting in on the JDM action with at least one unmarked Toyota Aristo (!) doing the rounds alongside a host of 3- and 5-series BMWs.

Ah, the impetuousness of youth. Precocious Canadian types Tokyo Police Club, dead set upon conquering the world before they conquer their first legal spin in a rental car, will release a single for "Your English Is Good" on July 9 in the United Kingdom via Memphis Industries.The single-- which, rest assured, the boys plan to release in North America July 10 via their own Team 8 Recordings-- features B-sides "Waiting in the Wings" (on the 7" vinyl) and "Swedes in Stockholm" (on the digital version). Whatever your pleasure, we're told that the "Your English Is Good" single is a stand-alone affair, and that, though the band is writing "all the time," they've still got no concrete plans to bring their simmering hype to a boil with a full length just yet.Site : Tokyo Police ClubSimilar Artists: Tapes 'n' Tapes, Sunset Rubdown, Islands, The Rapture, Voxtrot, Wolf Parade, Oh No!

So, ich hatte mir eigentlich gewünscht, so bald nicht mehr Musik zu hören, die auch nur entfernt nach “guter Laune”, “unbeschwert” oder “Post Punk” klingt oder klingen soll. So sagt es aber nun mal ihr Label, die mit Tokyo Police Club glauben, einen ganz guten Fang gemacht zu haben. Zusammenwürfeln, schnell schreiben und noch schneller produzieren und dann ausspucken. Vielleicht ist es dieser Instantgeschmack, der es halbwegs bekömmlich macht? Das kurze Prickeln auf der Zunge? Nur das Gefühl, dass ich mehr von ihnen hören will, das stellt sich irgendwie nicht ein. Ach, was soll’s! Ich gebe ihnen eine Chance. Eine.

TOKYO POLICE CLUB started by accident one day in the ordinary suburb of Newmarket when Greg, Josh, Dave, and Graham decided that they missed playing music together, their previous band having broken up several months before. The four gathered in Josh's basement, plugging in instruments and making up songs almost at random, with no goal but to recapture the magic that they felt making music together. By the time summer came, TPC had began quietly to play shows in the Toronto area, shows at which the very few people in attendance seemed impressed by what they saw. The band seemed likely to end here, with the various members preparing to go their separate ways in the fall, when fate intervened in the form of an invitation to play the Pop Montreal festival. Packing their instruments and girlfriends into a tiny university residence room, TPC spent a week immersed in music, spending days lazily wandering the streets of Montreal and nights rehearsing loudly in the tiniest of spaces, and

Tokyo Police Club first came to my attention in the middle of last year with their brilliant "A Lesson In Crime" EP. I wait with baited ears for the debut album and you'll undoubtedly hear stuff from it on this site.This set was recorded at Great Scott in Allston and proves what a great prospect these lads really are.Greg Alsop: Drums, PercussionJosh Hook: Guitar, PercussionDave Monks: Vocals, BassGraham Wright: Keyboards, VocalsTokyo Police Club - Live1.
