On March 5, 2021, Ontario's Tokyo Police Club will release a deluxe version of their Champ album, the group's second full-length which originally released in 2010.
The new edition will be released on vinyl and digital formats, including a new remix, b-sides and other unreleased songs. The band kicks off the news by sharing "Hundred Dollar Day" (watch the video below).
Guitarist/keyboardist Graham Wright says:
“One nice thing about revisiting something ten years after the fact is that you at least have a shot at some perspective. I’m sure that at the time, 23 years old and stressing over our big swing second record, all the hours we spent agonizing over whether or not to put ‘Hundred Dollar Day’ on the record seemed very good and important. But of course now I forget about all of it, and I just hear a damn cool song that brings me happily back to a hell of a time in my life. But then again, if we’d put the song on the record in the first place, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it right now. So maybe we were on to something after all.”
The release will be distributed by Mom + Pop (US/Mexico/Australia), Dine Alone (Canada) and Memphis Industries (UK/EU).
