TOKYO POLICE CLUB - 'Wait Up (Boots of Danger)'

Origin: Newmarket, ON
Position: NUMBER THREE
Cherchez La Moose: Easily one of my favourite bands from the past few years, Tokyo Police Club never fails to put a smile on my face. Their latest album, the appropriately-titled Champ, continues their impressive winning streak. It says a lot that after several EP's and full-lengths, I have yet to hear a bad song from these guys. Although they tend to stick with one songwriting formula (short song, verses and chorus repeat a few times, soaring climax, end song abruptly right when you want it to keep going), it's a formula that is working really well for them. Wait Up (Boots of Danger) is a perfect summer single, and the video's dog pool party is cuteness done right.
