Tokyo Police Club: C-

Tokyo Police Club hails out of Canada. They have a few EPs and singles. I checked out 12 of their tracks which is pretty near their full catalog. Given I only listened to them once, this is an abbreviated review.

The best way to describe TPC is they sound exactly like a clone of The Strokes "Is This It?" In fact, I thought it could be the B sides to that whole album. Everything from the quirky rhythms to the warble of the singers voice. Given the Strokes have moved a bit away from their original sound, this album may be exactly what you need to keep that sound going. Otherwise, buy the Strokes and play that until the bits wear off and leave Tokyo Police Club on the shelf.
