    Although Tokyo Police Club is already embarked on a summer itinerary that includes Denmark, Japan, and Australia, the band has begun plotting a fall return to the US. In addition to previously announced appearances at the Monolith and Treasure Island Festivals in September, the band will headline the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles on September 18th, and New York's Webster Hall on October 18th. The band's incessant touring is in support of their debut full length album Elephant Shell, which was released earlier this year by Saddle Creek Records. Elle called the album "a smart, furiously played, sugar-rush debut that sounds like it was inspired by Red Bull benders and unrequited love." The Los Angeles Times seconded that emotion, describing the album as "like being in love for the first time, in musical form - that kind of rush." Men’s Health also weighed in, calling Elephant Shell “an aural adrenaline rush, all the way.”

    Finally, the band is teaming with the Lupus Foundation Of America to raise money for continued research of lupus, an incurable disease that affects over 1.5 million Americans. Tokyo Police Club’s cover of The Rentals’ song “Friends Of P” is streaming (and available for download if you’re clever) at FriendsOfP.org, where visitors can make donations and have a chance to win a limited-edition Friends Of P tote bag.

    previous news
    Following one of the most well-received 16 minutes of music in recent history (2006's A Lesson wing one of the most well-received 16 minutes of music in recent history (2006's A Lesson In CrimeEP), Newmarket, Ontario's Tokyo Police Club confirms the release of its debut album Elephant Shell, due out April 22 on Saddle Creek.

    Elephant Shell lands roughly a year and half after A Lesson In Crime (with last year's Smith EP and "Your English Is Good" digi-single bridging the gap), which has sold over 30,000 copies and garnered accolades from Entertainment Weekly("Wecan hardly wait for the full length" A-), Rolling Stone("If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party starters in barely more than sixteen minutes"), Interview, Blender, Nylonand The New York Timesamong others. Tokyo Police Club was formed in 2005 by David Monks (vocals, bass), Josh Hook (guitar), Graham Wright (keyboards), and Greg Alsop (drums).Elephant Shell is the sound of these four early-20-somethings, now seasoned by hundreds of shows from tiny clubs to the festival throngs at Coachella and Glastonbury, delivering on every bit of promise in their rapid-fire bar- rage of material to date.The opening one-two of "Centennial" and "In A Cave" barely evapo- ratesbefore "Graves" and "Juno" pack innumerable hooks and "what-does-that-remind-me-of" glimmers into meager 2-minute-and-change frameworks, while first single"Tessellate" and "Sixties Remake" encapsulate everything great about the manic TPC live experience: soaring guitar signatures and keyboard figures, driving backbeats and irresistible singalongs abound. Elsewhere, "The Harrowing Adventures Of..." and the down-tempo standout "Listen To The Math" find our young protagonists ably adapting their energy into more subdued structures before the rousing coda of "The Baskervilles" brings the record to an all-too-early halt.

    "Tessellate" goes to radio in early April. Meanwhile the ever-growing pack of Tokyo Police Club fans are already grabbing up the tickets to recently announced dates beginning March 18 and running up toand beyond the release of Elephant Shell. Early demand has already resulted in the addition of second and third shows in the Los Angeles and New York markets, respectively.
