Tokyo Police Club

Formed while in High School in Newmarket, Ontario just north of Toronto, Tokyo Police Club have forged a two decade career creating infectious power indie pop, over the course of five full-length albums and one of the most acclaimed debut EPs of all time, with performances across the globe, from Coachella to The Late Show with David Letterman to Wisteria Lane.

The high-energy indie rock outfit Tokyo Police Club began as a favorite of mid-2000s music blogs, but lasted far longer than many of their contemporaries thanks in part to their evolving sound. While their early EPs boasted a brash style in keeping with the rock revival earlier from earlier in the decade, the band opted for a more introspective approach on 2008's debut album Elephant Shell. Whether they took their music in a more polished direction, as on 2014's Forcefield, or in a rawer one, as on 2018's TPC, the hooks that defined Tokyo Police Club's music remained.

Juice, squeezed from soft fruit contains a floating melange of fleshy, fibrous pulp. The glass is before you: electric and vibrant. Naturally sweet and nutritious. Nature's nurturing gift for body and mind.

An abundance of good material, that's what we had. We didn't set out to write a trilogy. We just wrote a lot of songs that we liked and it seemed a shame to bury any of them. So, early on in our recording process we looked at this great big list of all the songs and said "let's break this up into three records: JUICE, SQUEEZE and PULP."  

It would be short selling it to call PULP a collection of b-sides and rarities. Rather, it is a group of songs who have been patiently waiting their turn. 'Happy Parasites' was at the top of the list when we entered the studio to record “Uncle, Duke & the Chief” in 2017 but it never made it into the sessions. 'Husha' has been kicking around YouTube and various hard drives, a bootleg of sorts, for nearly ten years. 'Heat Wave' is a head bobbing, slow-burn banger that just needed a little more gestation time.

PULP, strained and separated for your convenience. You may now swirl them back into the eddying roil or consume each song independently. All we ask is you refrigerate after opening.
