Fucking hate Oasis. Dave sounds a bit too much like Liam Gallagher for my taste but musically this song reminds me a lot of The Boxer Rebellion; now THAT I can get down with. Last minute or so is beautiful. Totally missed out on the EPs but I think I'm on board.
Tokyo Police Club's Dave Monks releasing solo LP & touring (stream "Love Fades") hopefully this is better than the last 9 years of TPC :)
I still haven’t recovered from the fact that this was one of my favorite bands and I can’t even stomach their last album and most of the one before that as well
They really dropped off. There's nothing on the EPs I would go back to, and maybe like one song on TPC. Forcefield is fun but Champ and everything before it were almost like a different band.
I saw them a couple months ago at an outdoor show and the crowd was more into their older/more quirky /complex/faster/key infused stuff. I’m also a much bigger fan of Elephant Shell and Champ too, and don’t really go back to many songs off TPC or their EP’s.
They just played Champ in full the other night. I could see a summer/fall Champ anniversary tour for sure
