Tokyo Police Club is a cool Canadian indie rock band from Newmarket, Ontario. An indie rock band makes music that is often produced by smaller, independent record labels, or by the band themselves. They started making music in 2005 and are still active today.

How the Band Started

Tokyo Police Club was formed in 2005. The band members used to be in another band called Suburbia. After forming, they played at a music festival called Pop Montreal.

Soon after their festival performance, a record label from Toronto called Paper Bag Records signed them. This meant the label would help them make and sell their music.

Their Music Albums

The band released their first record on April 25, 2006. It was an EP called A Lesson in Crime. An EP is a music recording that has more songs than a single, but fewer than a full album.

Their second EP, Smith EP, came out in Canada on October 23, 2007. It was released in the United States a little later, on November 6, 2007.

Their first full studio album was called Elephant Shell. It was released on April 22, 2008. A studio album usually has many songs and is recorded in a professional studio. Their second studio album, Champ, was released on June 8, 2010.
