"One of the things that can be said for the songs of Tokyo Police Club that can be said about all of the greatest science fiction works of history is that there are always thick moral fibers to all of them. It is the cement of the story - that piece of advice and that word to the wise, that underlying current of morality and knowledge that defies any part of the story that seems far-fetched or implausible.None of the pieces that appear on the band's latest album, Champ, nor those on the previous album, Elephant Shell, should ever be seen as science fiction, but there are aspects of these narratives that put us into the categories of crime noir and mash-ups of John Hughes movies and Kurt Vonnegut novels." - Daytrotter

With 2 full-lengths, 2 EPs, a Coachella slot, and 3 appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and even Desperate Housewives, and critical acclaim from publications such as Rolling Stone, Esquire and GQ as well as sites like Stereogum and Pitchfork under its belt, Ontario quartet Tokyo Police Club could be considered one of the hardest working indie bands to come into existence the past 5 years. This winter will see the band warming up with some December dates before hitting the road for a January co-headlining tour with Two Door Cinema Club. Tokyo Police Club is continuing to tour in support of its critically acclaimed release Champ, out now on Mom + Pop Music. The boys recently recorded a Daytrotter session featuring a previously unreleased song called "Top 5" which can be heard here. Pre-sale tickets for the shows with Two Door Cinema Club go on sale today at 3 p.m. and can be purchased here.
