Tokyo Police Club

Tokyo Police Club is Greg Alsop (drums), Josh Hook (guitar), David Monks (vocals, bass) and Graham Wright (keys/percussion). The band formed in 2005 and released the debut EP A Lesson In Crime the following year to instant and universal acclaim. One more EP, a digital-only single and a few world tours later, Tokyo Police Club’s first full length album, Elephant Shell was released in April 2008. Elephant Shell’s release was preceded by multiple sold out shows in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Toronto, and followed by appearances on The Late Show With David Letterman, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and, yes, Desperate Housewives. Critical response to the full length was even more enthusiastic and diverse, with the likes of GQ, Elle, Spin, Rolling Stone and Men’s Health all giving thumbs up. The band toured relentlessly to support Elephant Shell, finally wrapping up in the U.S. at the August 2009 All Points West Festival.

Tokyo Police Club have confirmed the title and release date of the band’s second full length album: Champ will be released June 8th on the band’s new U.S. label home Mom+Pop?.
