If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party-starters in barely more than sixteen minutes.

This foursome has nothing to do with Tokyo (they're from suburban Toronto) or law enforcement; they have everything to do with Buzzcocks-style velocity and Strokes-style guitar hooks, without slowing down for a breath.

Their debut EP has no fat on its bones, from the moment David Monks opens "Cheer It On" with the shout "Operator, get me the president of the world -- this is an emergency!"
"Nature of the Experiment" actually seems to have a fairly intelligent and, indeed, heart-tugging lyric ("It's my impeccable disorder/Where I keep on falling for her").

But intelligence rarely pokes its unwanted head into Tokyo Police Club's mission, which is making you do the hippy-hippy shake down the sidewalk. Mission accomplished

Gota love it, highly refreshing music from a band that are still relatively unknown on the music scene, can only say good things about them! watch out on your radio stations in the near future, can see these lads being a big hit!

Overall the EP gives a fantastic blend of what they are about, short, sharp and energetic music which will leave you wanting more.
