The high-energy indie rock outfit Tokyo Police Club began as a favourite of mid-2000s music blogs, but lasted far longer than many of their contemporaries thanks in part to their evolving sound. While their early EPs boasted a brash style in keeping with the rock revival from earlier in the decade, the band opted for a more introspective approach on 2008's debut album Elephant Shell. Whether they took their music in a more polished direction, as on 2014's Forcefield, or in a rawer one, as on 2018's TPC, the hooks that defined Tokyo Police Club's music remained.
