2007, Paper Bag Records
Catapulting from the unknown with last year's A Lesson In Crime, Tokyo Police Club rapidly gained a reputation for infectious songs and exuberant performances. Across the nation and abroad, these boys stole the show at festivals and club dates alike, commanding main stage at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and bumbershoot, to name a few. The year was spent tirelessly touring with Cold War Kids and Art Brut, among others, thus garnering legions of ardent followers. What do these devotees demand? More Tokyo Police Club!
Smith is here to fulfill the demand. Four songs and three videos, this is a piece essential to every TPC fan. From the vaults: two UK 7" vinyl B-Sides, 'Box' and 'Cut Cut Paste' (also found on the 12"). Next, 'A Lesson In Crime', only previously available as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the debut EP. EXCLUSIVE to this CD, aa RAC remix for 'Be Good': still including the lively, oft repeated "Hey!"s and furious hand-claps so known and loved, while somehow making a stellar track even more pop-worthy. The award winning video for 'Cheer It On', as well as that of 'Nature of the Experiment' and MTV2/MTVUs pet, 'Citizens of Tomorrow' are all physically available on Smith for the first time.
