Ontario's Tokyo Police Club [pictured] became overnight post-punk sensations with their all-too-brief thrill, A Lesson in Crime EP. Fortunately for them, people took notice of the group’s brand of fuzzy garage rock and lead singer Dave Monk’s direct deadpan howl, and TPC scored a sweet record deal with Saddle Creek.
Unfortunately for us, nearly two years went by with hardly any new music from the young band. Fans will soon get their fix though; TPC's debut full-length album. Elephant Shell, is finally being released in April.
The guys are currently touring in support of Elephant Shell and are making a stop in Houston on Monday night.
Watch what happens when good toys go bad in the music video for the song, "Cheer it On:"
