If you were to throw Bowie, Joy Division, The Arcade Fire, and two llamas into a blender, you would have one hell of a mess. Tokyo Police Club is here to help you clean up! Raucous and delicious, with a lyrical sound resonating in Thurston Moore and the same musical concoction bands like Sonic Youth, Built to Spill and Pavement reeled in many moons ago. The boys are adorable, with an interesting new sound to offer. They've taken all the good bits from indie rock in the past decade and then put their individual spin on things.

Winston Churchill, that master of the verbal thrust and parry, described Tokyo Police Club thus: "Like a swift kick in the pants followed be a raucous dance party." Touche, Mr. Churchill, touche.
