Tokyo Police Club's "English Is Good" on New Single

Ah, the impetuousness of youth. Precocious Canadian types Tokyo Police Club, dead set upon conquering the world before they conquer their first legal spin in a rental car, will release a single for "Your English Is Good" on July 9 in the United Kingdom via Memphis Industries.

Really adventurous (or totally unemployed) types can check out this stream of Colin Murray's BBC Radio 1 show and listen for the new track.

The single-- which, rest assured, the boys plan to release in North America July 10 via their own Team 8 Recordings-- features B-sides "Waiting in the Wings" (on the 7" vinyl) and "Swedes in Stockholm" (on the digital version). Whatever your pleasure, we're told that the "Your English Is Good" single is a stand-alone affair, and that, though the band is writing "all the time," they've still got no concrete plans to bring their simmering hype to a boil with a full length just yet.

The kids' Club is out shouting English over crooked guitars all summer long in darn near every corner of the English-speaking world. Following the death of drummer John Pike, it's not clear whether Ra Ra Riot will still open a stretch of TPC summer shows.
