Ted Leo

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

For over ten years, Ted Leo has been one of the most progressive forces in East Coast independent music, with a unique combination of punk and folk, soul and hardcore, and tradition and experimentation. Originally rising to a small degree of fame in the late-'80s New York hardcore scene by playing with Citizen's Arrest and Animal Crackers, Leo left New York for Washington, D.C., in 1990, when he founded and fronted Chisel, one of the first mod/punk revival outfits to gain national notoriety. Leo was the primary songwriter and singer of {$Chi...[more]

Since his days in the early '90s leading the DC modsters, Chisel, Teddy has been creating some of the most innovative pop music in the underground rock scene. With this recording, Ted has returned to the helm of a rock band, leading James Canty (Make-Up), Jody Buonanno (Secret Stars), and Amy Farina (Warmers), and his voice is strong, his passion unnerving, and his energy is indomitable. All five songs on "Treble In Trouble" heave with emotion and ardor as The Pharmacists breath life into four Leo originals   [ read more ]

Ted Leo is a rare gem in the indie rock world. Having labored for years in the mod pop outfit Chisel, he released his first solo effort in 1999 which fused his influences from such artists as The Jam, Elvis Costello and Squeeze with his love of reggae and dub music. The Tyranny Of Distance takes this one step further and is a brilliant showcase of Ted's incredible vocal and guitar playing talent and amazing song writing skills. Produced by Brendan Canty (drummer of Fugazi, producer of The Make-Up and   [ read more ]

You might remember Ted Leo from his exploits many years back in the New York hardcore scene with bands like Citizens Arrest and Animal Crackers. More likely, you remember his inspiring role as songwriter and leader of the legendary DC mod-punk band, Chisel. You may even be lucky enough to have caught the short-lived but long remembered Sin Eaters, whom Ted fronted from 1997-1998, or his touring stint with the Spinanes during those same years. Probably, though, you are most familiar with the understated but    [ read more ]
