(ED NOTE: “Soundtrack†is a recurring feature in which we tell you more about the music heard in each episode of Best Week Ever With Paul F. Tompkins. This week, we’re talking about Tokyo Police Club.)
Hey, it’s Halloween. Why aren’t you at a party? Because. Because the song that played during tonight’s episode of BWE is super awesome and you had to find out immediately what it is. It’s called “Your English Is Good,” and it’s by Tokyo Police Club. If you haven’t caught wind of them yet, you’re way behind the times, dude. But that’s okay, we’ll forgive you. Just this once. TPC is from Canada, and after forming in 2005, it didn’t take them long to get a name for themselves and ultimately signed to Saddle Creek. Their debut album, Elephant Shell, has received critical acclaim, and currently they’re touring with Weezer. And, they recently shot an episode of Desperate Housewives – what!!! Yes, apparently, they will be appearing in a battle of the bands scene, where they compete with the Desperate House-husbands band formed by the character Mike. Genius. Moving on…the band keeps a cute blog over on their website…you really get the feeling that they are wide-eyed and excited about the success they’ve achieved over the past couple of years. And please, are you looking at this picture? They’re adorable.
See TPC performing “Your English Is Good” live on F’N MTV, after the jump!
