Tokyo Police Club Bio
Tokyo Police Club is an indie rock band from Newmarket, Ontario, Canada. It consists of vocalist and bassist David Monks (born December 22, 1987), keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook (born May 11, 1987), and drummer Greg Alsop (born March 21, 1985).Tokyo Police Club formed in 2005 while playing for fun in a basement after the four had disbanded from a previous group called Suburbia. The band started to gain attention and played some small shows throughout the Toronto area. Tokyo Police Club were asked to play in the city's Pop Montreal festival, and soon after they signed with Toronto label Paper Bag Records; Monks and Alsop dropped out of college to become professional musicians.
Since their formation the band has appeared in numerous festivals. In 2006 they appeared at Edgefest and the inaugural Osheaga Festival; however, could not play that year due to other conflicts. In 2007, they performed at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot, the Glastonbury Festival, and the Reading and Leeds Festival. In 2008 the band played the Roskilde Festival, the Rock am Ring-Festival, and Street Scene. In 2010, the band played at Bonnaroo, the largest outdoor music festival in the U.S. They also played at San Francisco's 2010 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival.
In the fall of 2008, the band played on the last 6 weeks of Weezer's Troublemaker Tour along with Angels and Airwaves. In the same year, they released their first album, Elephant Shell.
Their second full-length album, Champ, was released on June 8, 2010.
On June 18, 2011, the video for "Wait Up (Boots of Danger) was nominated as best Indie video of the year by Much Music. The video was directed by Mike Juneau and Kyle McCreight, and produced by Jesse Ewles and Chris Cunningham.
Summer 2011 sees Tokyo Police Club in a project they like to call "10 Songs. 10 Hours. 10 Days. 10 Years.", in which they release a new cover song from one of the last 10 years, going in order from 2001 to 2010.

Discography
The band released its debut EP, A Lesson in Crime, in 2006 on Paper Bag Records, with Smith EP arriving the following year. During a July 20, 2007 show in Omaha, Nebraska the band announced it had signed a deal earlier in the day for Saddle Creek Records to release their debut LP. The band have also recorded two previously unheard songs for the Daytrotter Sessions, which are available online. A single, now on their album Elephant Shell, entitled "Your English Is Good" was released on July 9, 2007.
Responding to criticisms that their debut EP A Lesson in Crime is too short (16:22), Graham Wright had this to say in an interview with Ukula:
"It's very quick, quick, quick, one, two, three. Some of the songs don't have a lot of space in them and the album doesn't have a whole lot of room to breathe, but I think in the case of an EP this is a really good thing."
The band released their first LP, Elephant Shell, via their new label Saddle Creek on April 22, 2008 in North America, and May 5, 2008 in the U.K. and Continental Europe via Memphis Industries. It was pre-released via the US iTunes Music Store on March 25, 2008.
