Tokyo Police Club have finally done a proper studio recording of “Top 5,” which became a fan favourite after the band played it on Daytrotter back in the day. “‘Top 5’ is the closest thing we have to a ‘much sought after fan favourite unreleased track,'” guitarist/keyboardist Graham Wright said. “Ever since we did it on Daytrotter way back when, people have been asking for an official release, but even though it’s been floating around since before ‘Elephant Shell’ we never recorded it properly!” Graham also adds that “it can feel surprisingly hard to convincingly recapture an old vibe” but this recording does indeed feel straight out of TPC’s early days.
Tokyo Police Club is an indie rock band from Newmarket, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2005, it consists of vocalist and bassist Dave Monks, keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook, and drummer Greg Alsop.
This was originally recorded for daytrotter in 2010. Awesome to hear this version.
