*NOTE: WE ARE NOT THE GROUP TOKYO POLICE CLUB WE ARE JUST FANS WHO WERE GIVEN PERMISSION TO RUN AN OFFICIAL STREET TEAM FOR TPC BY THEIR MANAGER*The gentlemen of Tokyo Police Club grew up dreaming of rock stardom—playing air guitar, lip syncing to songs in front of the mirror, and practicing interviews before bed.One fateful day, Dave, Graham, Greg, and Josh decided to learn some instruments and write some songs. It took a few years and a few bands before the four friends created Tokyo Police Club. The first ten shows or so attracted crowds of friends and parents. There were plenty of cupcakes to go around. Soon a reputation for infectious songs and exuberant live performances added to the decadent baked goods and an unstoppable musical force was born.After a Pop Montreal showcase, Tokyo Police Club made some new friends: Toronto’s esteemed Paperbag Records. Surprised by their good fortune, but intent on turning out a stellar collection of songs, the boys worked like madmen, spending their days working ‘real jobs’ and their nights banging out tune after tune. The band hit the studio with Jon Drew, and after three long days, staggered back into the harsh sunlight clutching their new EP: A Lesson in Crime. Clocking in at a mere 16 minutes, A Lesson in Crime hits like a tornado, from the thunderous drums of “Cheer it On†to the cathartic screaming coda to “La Ferrassie.†The EP is a relentless barrage of pummeling bass and drums, stabbing keyboards, and sheets of delayed guitar, peppered with furious handclaps and lively group vocals.Released in the United States and Europe, the EP received a glowing review by Rolling Stone, “If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party starters in barely more than sixteen minutes.†Then came NME, “Tokyo Police Club are a bold, inventive, brilliant band, And that’s the absolute truth,†and Pitchfork, “This blogger-approved Toronto quartet has the potential to become a real five-tool player in indie for a long time; Pretty Girls Make Graves agility, Les Savy Fav’s curveball, the Strokes’ sweet swing—there’s no questioning the latent talent here.†Whether playing in small clubs or at massive festivals like Glastonbury or Coachella, Tokyo Police Club is known for boisterous live shows that manage to exceed the joy and energy of their recordings. The boys have spent the past year touring with bands like Art Brut, Cold War Kids, and Enon.We could go on and on about how A Lesson in Crime stayed on the Canadian College Charts longer than any other album released in 2006 or about how “Nature of the Experiment†got a stranglehold on mainstream Toronto radio and refused to let go, outlasting serious competition like Red Hot Chili Peppers…or about how the video for “Cheer it On†won a MuchMusic Video Award in 2007, resulting in one of the most awkward acceptance speeches in the program’s history. We could go on…and on…and on…but, at the end of the day, the important thing is that these four friends are doing just what they always dreamed of—making something special. They are writing and performing music that draws people in, music that demands attention. Listen to the songs. Can rock stardom really be that far away?***This Official Street Team is run by myself Monique and MJ, we are your only leaders on this page. More info about us, the Team Leaders will be up soon***
