Ted Leo + Pharmacists

Ted Leo + Pharmacists’ combination of politics, art, punk, and humor is resonating with people all over the world. With his former band, Chisel, Leo traveled mainly in the punk underground, but with his fourth solo effort, Shake the Sheets, he and his Pharmacists are hitting the mainstream hard.
To come up with the relentlessly hook-y songs that populate Shake the Sheets, Leo sequestered himself in his New Jersey basement and wrote the bulk of the songs. Right out of the gate with the album’s leadoff track, “Me and Mia,” Leo and company come busting out of the basement with songs as potent lyrically as they are musically. www.tedleo.com
