A Lesson in Crime EP
I have to say, I’m excited about music again. I haven’t been for a long time now. I’d have to say from about 1999 until about 2003 my music purchasing was way sided to nothing but Pop Culture Press, diving the dollar bins to replacing albums that had became scratched and purchasing follow up albums from bands I already followed. It’s a lonely life to live when you live without nothing but the same old music all the time. Even lonelier when you’re paying for Nicklebag’s new albums since it’s basically the same as the last album.
Lo and behold I took a chance on eMusic and fell in love with sound all over again. I was listening to and downloading all this new music. Some of it fresh and new, other not so new, but that’s OK. It was new to me and that made it great to enjoy now. It was new to me. And now I hope that it will be new to you too.
Toyko Police Club a band based out of Toronto, that’s in Canada for people who failed geography, released an EP in 2006 called A Lesson in Crime. Sweet Baby Jesus! This EP is what they play when men and women grow 50 feet to battle giant alien robots and mutated monsters in downtown metropolitan areas.
Not to say the music is psychedelic(we’ll talk about Astroid Galaxy Tour on the 18th of May). Not in the slightest. It’s this high beat fast guitar action that lends you to getting up to fight giant alien robots and mutated monsters. These are fight songs and stand offs. Each track is under two minutes and forty-five second.
I highly recommend that you start to create a comic book about giant alien robots and mutanted monsters invading a large metropolitan city while listening to this EP.
The only other side note I have, is that this is the band that I had always heard in my head but never knew existed when I was reading Scott Pilgrim. I fear that I might get let down by the new movie coming out soon by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera if this isn’t the band used for the music.
To sell the music there are a couple of full sample tracks at the page for A Lesson in Crime EP.
