Having shown so much promise on their debut Tokyo Police Club returned with their brilliant second full-length ‘Champ‘ in 2010. Right from the opening notes you are in for something special with the band making the matter of writing catchy anthemic songs seem wholly painless.
The Canadians managed to build on all the early promise they displayed whilst throwing a few interesting curveballs into their indie meets punk meets pop template.
Back in July Cougar regular Kenny commented that Tokyo Police Club ‘seem to have a fresh, different, brilliant idea for every day of the calendar year.’ It is for this reason that these 11 intelligent upbeat tracks demand to be returned to frequently.
