Tokyo Police Club Biography

You'd think 26 months between albums would be an excruciating wait for a band that debuted with an ecstatically received 16 minutes of music (2006's A Lesson In Crime EP), followed quickly by several EPs and singles (Smith's "Your English Is Good") and a debut album (2008's Elephant Shell). And for Tokyo Police Club, it very well could have been, had they not aggressively toured in support of their debut album until August 2009 — and begun creating new songs practically the moment their previous album was laid to rest. Therefore, the nine months between the end of that tour and the release of Champ Tokyo Police Club's second full-length album and first for the mom+pop label on June 8 have been everything from dull or fruitless. The Newmarket, Ontario quartet, which consisted of Greg Alsop on drums, Josh Hook on guitar, David Monks on vocals, bass, and Graham Wright on keys and percussion, ended up happily immersing itself more fully in its craft than ever. They challenged and redefined their songwriting and performing chops and techniques from the first day of pre-production, and together with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck Elliott Smith), they ultimately produced the most important album of their career to date.
