The Train of Thought Lounge: Tokyo Police Club
Hello all. Today's installment of The Train of Thought Lounge features a Canadian band called Tokyo Police Club, if that isn't too confusing. They sound somewhat like a cross between Bloc Party and The Decemberists, their songs mainly consisting of frenetic, two-and-a-half minute pop-powered energy bursts. I really was put on to this band, quite simply, because of its name. I thought it sounded cool. Luckily, out of a slew of indie bands with avant garde names (Feist, Spoon and Vampire Weekend come to mind), Tokyo Police Club live up to the anticipation with a refreshing sound.

have you heard of a band called "Stars"?
ReplyDeletenah i haven't, do they sound similar?
ReplyDeletenot really. but they are another band from that indie canadian pop music genre.
ReplyDeletei checked out some their 30 second preview jaunts on itunes. i like it, not quite as energetic as TPC, but good. i'm really on a nerdy indie rock/old school DC hardcore kick right now (read: fugazi, minor threat, and of course muthafuckin BAD BRAINS)
