Tokyo Police Club – ‘Cheer It On’ (Memphis Industries) Released 05/02/07

The country that spawned Bryan Adams and Celine Dion can finally stop apologising and hold its head up high. Tokyo Police Club are going down a treat in their native Canada since the release of ‘A Lesson In Crime’ EP last April - now it’s our turn! ‘Cheer It On’ is released to coincide with a spate of UK gigs. Peppered spiky guitars and drums straddling indie cool and punk with a chorus as naïve and urgent as a virgin in suspenders on a Saturday night. If bandwagons are your thing, then start name dropping this four piece down the pub now.
