The zef-rockers have a new album in the can, TEN$ION. It was to be their second release on Interscope, and due out within the next few months. The band chose a track to lead with as a single, titled Fok Julle Naaiers ("Fuck you all," loosely). The label heard it, perceived it as too hard for a single, and according to our sources, wanted the entire record to be reworked for more pop appeal (think Gaga or Black-Eyed-Peas). Ninja and Yo-Landi would have none of it, and asked their attorneys (one of whom was Michael Jackson's former rep) to sever all ties with Interscope, forgoing a million dollar guarantee on the new record and choosing complete creative independence.
From the band's online diary:
So anyway... Interscope offered us a bunch of money again to release our new album TEN$ION.
But this time, they also tried to get involved with our music, to try and make us sound like everyone else out there at the moment.
So we said: 'U know what, rather hang on to your money, buy yourself something nice...we gonna do our own thing. Bye bye'
The band will release TEN$ION through a new independent label of their own, ZEF RECORDZ. Songs will be available as digital downloads and on flash drives, "Because CDs are like motherfucking VHS," Ninja tells Boing Boing.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Stein wrote scores for numerous low budget horror and exploitation films during the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were released by American International Pictures. These films included It Conquered the World (1956), Not of This Earth (1957), Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), Dinosaurus! (1960), The Premature Burial (1962), The Terror (1963), Dementia 13 (1963) and Spider Baby (1968). He also occasionally provided scores for major studio productions such as Francis Ford Coppola's The Rain People (1969) and Richard Rush's Getting Straight (1970). And the pilot episode of "Gunslinger" (1961).
His song "Go Home Pigs" was sampled by Dr. Dre for his beat for the Eminem song Guilty Conscience. Here's a comparison.

It’s no question that Tokyo Police Club is one of the hardest working bands today. Since the release of their second full-length studio album Champ they’ve been turning it out fast, first with the re-release of Champ which included remixes and new tracks and now with their newest album 10x10x10 (10 Songs |10 Years | 10 Days) – a cover album – set to drop next Tuesday. If I were Leah Miller I could sum up this record in one annoying sentence – at times [the band] “was completely out of their genre but the audience loved it”. Though there’s truth to this statement, the tracks on the record say so much more for the band. Let me break it down for you. Throughout the duration of this album Tokyo Police Club takes the listener back in time through the 2000s, exploring a number of different genres in the process. Kicking off the record (and setting a high standard for the songs to come) is Moby’s Southside originally featuring Gwen Stefani. A shiny-headed Moby is replaced by shaggy-haired Graham Wright creating perfect juxtaposition between his vocals and smooth bass lines while managing to retain all the sex appeal of the original. Adding to this contrast is M83’s Morgan Kibby playing the role of Gwen Stefani. This is the first time the band has incorporated female backup vocals and while I wouldn’t want to mess up their unique sound, I wouldn’t be opposed if they went co-ed from time to time. Let’s switch it up now to some pop action from our favorite American Idol, Kelly Clarkson. The cover of “Since U Been Gone” doesn’t seem nearly as serious as the majority of the record partially because Wright doesn’t sound enthused at all to be singing it and partially because it’s hard to be enthused about Kelly Clarkson. This song is something reserved for karaoke, and while it’s not the best cover they’ve done, they make the song much more enjoyable as a whole. With the fall season upon us it’s likely you or your parents are looking for some eerie music to play on Hallow’s Eve. TPC have you covered! (Pun fully intended). Behold their rendition of Queens of the Stone Age’s “Little Sister”. Maybe it’s the slower tempo of this version or maybe it’s that you can understand the lyrics a little better, but either way this one should be set aside for fright night. Combine spot-on catchy guitar riffs and a little help from Australian musician Orianthi and you’ve got something that really puts the boys out of their element. I could go on for days about what makes each song choice brilliant (with the exception of “Party in the USA” for obvious reasons) but here’s what it comes down to - whether you’re a fan of their traditional style, you love grooving to the smooth rhythms of LCD Soundsystem or The Strokes’ captivating riffs, there’s no denying they really hit the mark with this one. So pick it up, pop it in, and prepare to be taken through the decade – Tokyo Police Club style.
