Editorial Reviews
Champ is the much-anticipated new album from Tokyo Police Club, due out on June 8th on mom+pop. The Newmarket Ontario quartet was hailed by Rolling Stone as poised to become the biggest Canadian export since Molson and Champ delivers on that promise. Produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, the Vines) and led by the infectious new single, Wait Up (Boots of Danger) , Champ is a huge musical step forward for the band.
Champ follows up the band s 2008 debut album, Elephant Shell, which was celebrated by the likes of GQ, Elle, Spin, Rolling Stone and more- not to mention appearances on The Late Show With David Letterman, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and Desperate Housewives. Champ s release will be followed by an exhaustive world tour, with the band already confirmed to tour with Passion Pit, appear at this year s Coachella and Bonnaroo festivals, before headlining their own dates

i was nervous that this album would disappoint in comparison to Elephant Shell, but i was very pleasantly surprised. Tokyo Police Club may have topped themselves with this one. the entire album is outstanding and original! stand out track: "Favourite Food"

It's a really good indie album. It has an emotional fell that I found myself in the mood for quite a bit, kind of hard to describe. I don't love every song, but the majority are really quality.

It took me a while to buy this one. I initially heard 'Breakneck Speed' and thought that song was very well done and catchy. Though I have to admit, the first few times I listened to the record I was not thrilled. But it grew on me quickly after that. 'Gone' is probably my favorite on the record now. I have enjoyed this album quite a bit. It is definitely worth the money.

More sophisticated, yet not as good?
"Catchiness" is funny thing to me, because as easy to love as it is, its also kind of cheap. "Champ" is more complex, more understated than the previous album, "Elephant shell",... Read more

Champ?
I think the songwriting was compromised on this album. There isn't a Tessellate or In a Cave, but for the most part the album is still addictive and has catchy hooks, which I like. Read more
