Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on December 22, 1987)

Happy Birthday, David Monks! May your day be as catchy and timeless as the basslines you've gifted us through Tokyo Police Club. From "Elephant Shell" to "Champ," your music has been our indie-rock soundtrack—making awkward dancing acceptable since forever.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success than that time fans sang along louder than you at every show (sorry about that!). Keep rocking stages, crafting unforgettable melodies, and reminding us all why we fell in love with indie rock in the first place. Cheers to another spin around life's vinyl record—you truly are a Champ!
