Welcome To So Hood Magazine | Your # 1 Source For Latino News - Tokyo Police Club confirms album release date

Following on one of the most well received 16 minutes of music in recent history (2006's A Lesson In Crime EP), Ontario's favorite sons TOKYO POLICE CLUB now confirm the release date(s) of their first full-length album, Elephant Shell as April 22 on Saddle Creek in North America and May 5 on Memphis Industries in the UK.

Tokyo Police Club was formed in 2005 by David Monks (vocals, bass), Josh Hook (guitar), Graham Wright (keyboards), and Greg Alsop (drums). Released shortly thereafter, the aforementioned debut EP immediately elicited raves from Entertainment Weekly ("We can hardly wait for the full length" A-), Rolling Stone ("If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast"), Interview, Blender, and Nylon among others. Since then, TPC has been touring virtually non-stop, pausing only to release last year's Smith EP and digital-only single "Your English Is Good," and of course to record Elephant Shell.

The complete track listing for Elephant Shell is: "Centennial," "In A Cave," "Graves," "Juno," "Tessellate," "Sixties Remake," "The Harrowing Adventures Of...," "Nursery Academy," "Your English Is Good," "Listen To The Math," "The Baskervilles".

Demand for Tokyo Police Club's recently announced dates has resulted in the addition of second and third shows in the Los Angeles and New York areas, respectively. See below for all confirmed North American dates. This extensive tour will be followed by a UK/Europe run beginning in late May.
