BREAKNECK SPEED
March 28, 2010
DDDOOOOOWWWWNNNNLLLLLOOOOAAAADDDDD
its a free (free!) download for all of you. also if you loop it 29 times while watching Grosse Pointe Blank on mute, it looks like john cusack lip syncs the whole time. and if it doesn’t work, we’ll give you your money back.
the first crumb from the CHAMP cookie has crumbled and we’re really psyched all of you can hear it!!!!!!! watch more of the cookie crumble below….

Words cannot describe what I’m feeling while listening to this song. I am so in love with it. It just makes me remember how much I love your music… I mean I’m getting emotional listening to it for god’s sake.
Thank you so so so so SO much for this. I just… thank you.

I love the new song. Can’t wait for the whole album.
Seriously, when I first listened to just 6 seconds of it, it made me smile. (:
SO EXCITED.
I seriously got goosebumps when i heard the song play at the end of the video. Even better the whole way through! So pumped for this album. Good work, guys.
I saw you guys at Lollapalooza 2007 (and got A Lesson In Crime signed by all of you) and have been a huge fan ever since! I love Breakneck Speed – the sound has grown/improved since your earlier stuff but it is still characteristically Tokyo Police Club. I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of Champ!! yay
P.S. PLEASE please come back to Chicago!
PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK TO CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH (8!
beyond epic, can’t wait to hear the entire album
Thank you.

i bought tickets to see mainly you and passion pit in new york before the entire tour was published. and now you’re playing in philly.

new song is awesome, guys! i can’t wait for this album to drop!! (into my hands….)
SUGGESTION:
after/before coachella, play a show in LA.
dammit, i said to myself “if you just wait and don’t listen to breakneck speed, it’ll make the album that much better when it finally comes out.”
and i cracked.
i love you guys
GREAT SONG! you guys are the best. cant wait for CHAMP!
PLEASE come to Japan!!!
Hey guys GREAT show in Waterloo last night!!!!! LOVE the new material, and great to finnally see you guys live for all the classics from Lesson in Crime and Elephant Shell. Loved Shoulders and Arms – Killer drum beats…. Good Luck with the rest of the tour!!!
I’m Loving this new song gents! I’m really proud of the work you guys have done. If the rest of champ is as polished as this song it’s gonna be GREAT! I’ll be seeing you in Dallas!! You should do another acoustic session here in dallas like you did in Philly a bit ago – I got to see it while I was in town on business!!!!
We love you guys and are huge supporters of yours!
Champ IT!

If you manage to pause the video between 3.04 and like 3.05,
you will realise dave is revealing himself as a vampire.
Right on the camera flash ^.^
Just awesome!
I really wish I was livin in the US so I could see you guys live
Is there any live footage of the previous gigs that past that showcase the new songs (excluding “Breakneck Speed” “End of a Spark” and “Favourite Colour”?)
hey y’all,
i see you guys have joined Dine Alone records… does that mean you’re not on Saddle Creek anymore? I guess that makes sense, ’cause all their focus is pretty much on conor oberst, haha.
I have an abusive relationship with most of the bands I like so I keep waiting for TPC to piss on me. But ‘Breakneck’ sounds like progression without the distortion of the band I like, love and listen to all the goddam time.
I’m anticipating this album like I stalked MW2 for almost a full year. A little corner of my brain will have blueballs until I can get my hands on the physical item on the Best Buy shelf.
Thanks guys.
a musica é perfeeeeeita *—-* mas eu nao aguento mais esperar pelo album ;(
