Title: Cold War Kids and Tokyo Police Club
Post by: Tyler on 24 Feb 2007, 08:41: These two bands both just recently put out new albums (well, 6 months ago for CWK), both of which are pretty great, and now are on tour together.

Has anyone listened to either TPC - A Lesson in Crime or CWK - Robbers & Cowards yet or planning on seeing them?

I am planning on catching them when they play in Northampton. Only $15.

Post by: Hunter on 24 Feb 2007, 08:53: I've listened to CWK and i really liked them. Top song for me is We Used to Vacation. On another thought, i liked almost the whole album.

Post by: Yakob on 24 Feb 2007, 10:40: I like Hospital Beds and Hang Me Up To Dry from CWK, haven't listened to the whole album. Never heard of the other guys.

Post by: kablaaamo on 24 Feb 2007, 18:00: I very much like Tokyo Police Club. Worth the $15 on their own, sez I.

Post by: SilentJ on 24 Feb 2007, 23:00: A friend of mine turned me on to both, and they're playing in the Baltimore area in like a month (also for $15) so I'm probably gonna catch the show there.

Post by: adara on 24 Feb 2007, 23:35: I've heard all of Tokyo Police Club's "A Lesson in Crime" and liked it very much, but none of Cold War Kids besides a free download I found on the 'nets a while back. If I find the cd at the radio station I work at, I will probably be inclined to give it a spin.

Also, was the Tokyo Police Club release considered an album or an EP? I've seen it referred to as an album many times, but personally I think seven songs and sixteen minutes too short to be an album.

Post by: Gryff on 25 Feb 2007, 14:01: I've listened to Robbers and Cowards a bit and I mostly like it. Hospital Beds and Hang Me Up To Dry are indeed great tunes, and the drum sound across the whole album really stands out for me - very crisp and raw sounding. The singer's voice kind of starts to grate with me after a while though.

Don't know too much about the Tokyo Police Club. I think I downloaded a song of theirs a while ago... I should listen again.

Post by: Johnny C on 25 Feb 2007, 22:58: TPC are great. Their release is just an EP though. It's what, five songs, fifteen minutes? What an impressive fifteen minutes, however. "Citizens Of Tomorrow" is easily my favourite track.
