Hear it Now
View
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. This foursome has nothing to do with Tokyo (they're from suburban Toronto) or law enforcement; they have everything to do with Buzzcocks-style velocity and Strokes-style guitar hooks, without slowing down for a breath. Their debut EP has no fat on its bones, from the moment David Monks opens "Cheer It On" with the shout "Operator, get me the president of the world -- this is an emergency!" "Nature of the Experiment" actually seems to have a fairly intelligent and, indeed, heart-tugging lyric ("It's my impeccable disorder/Where I keep on falling for her"). But intelligence rarely pokes its unwanted head into Tokyo Police Club's mission, which is making you do the hippy-hippy shake down the sidewalk. Mission accomplished.
