Canadian indie-rockers Tokyo Police Club [ tickets ] have lined up a headlining tour starting in March as buzz continues to build behind the band's anticipated debut full-length.

The post-punk revivalists--who are currently preparing to stalk the wilds of their native Canadian province on a club tour that kicks off Jan. 19 in St. Catharines, Ontario, and runs through the beginning of February--will launch a longer outing March 20 in London, Ontario, with 16 cities mapped for the primarily US trek. Dates are below.

The group continues to back a pair of EPs, the 2006 debut "A Lesson in Crime" and last year's "Smith," both of them clocking in at well under 20 minutes, a fact that disappointed some reviewers and fans left wanting to hear more of the band's songs.

"It's very quick, quick, quick, one, two, three," keyboardist Graham Wright told Canadian arts-and-culture magazine Ukula last year, referring to the 16:22 playing time of "A Lesson in Crime," which clocks in a full six minutes longer than the newer EP. "Some of the songs don't have a lot of space in them and the album doesn't have a whole lot of room to breathe, but I think in the case of an EP this is a really good thing."

The group signed a deal with Nebraska independent label Saddle Creek last year to distribute the band's forthcoming debut LP, which is slated for release later this year.
