Tokyo Police Club — A Lesson In Crime

Tokyo Police Club sound like a bunch of bands that I'm not going to name because it's not really fair to how good they are. What makes me kind of sick is that they're also really young and I'm sort of jealous. But that's not going to stop me from proclaiming the band one of the breakout stars of 2006. Couple these seven awesome tracks — highlighted by an appearance by Magneta Lane's Lexi Valentine on "Nature Of The Experiment" — with a bombastic live show and you've got a recipe for success. If they can keep up with the ridiculous expectations they've set for themselves here, we could be hearing from TPC for a long time to come.
