By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) August 24, 2009 4:07 pm
Pearl Jam have taken a lot of flack from detractors for their "band of the people" stances over the course of their neatly two-decade career. Be it their refusal to do interviews, make videos or their ill-fated squabble with Ticketmaster, cynical backlash has dogged them. But those in attendance at the Molson Ampitheatre in Toronto...

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists Prescribe Energy Pills

By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) May 4, 2007 3:00 pm
The Mod Club was already pretty full when I arrived at 9:30 p.m. for the start of Love Of Diagrams' half-hour set. I had listened to the Australian trio's new Mosaic album once and liked it, but really wasn't familiar with their '80s-influenced, post-punk music. Guitarist Luke Horton and bassist Antonia Selbach alternated vocals, while Monika...

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists — Living With The Living

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 20, 2007 8:05 pm
This is Leo's fifth full-length with The Pharmacists, and it rivals 2003's Hearts Of Oak as his best. It's brimming with punk energy and politics, but also owes a debt to a few classic rockers. There are shades of Bruce Springsteen in the energetic "Sons Of Cain," and the Thin Lizzy influences spotted on past efforts show up again on...

Ted Leo made a rambling, 3,000-word blog entry last week, in which he recapped his career and then all of a sudden announced he was going to be making a musical.It turns out he was joking. What he and The Pharmacists have done instead is a video for The Brutalist Bricks' "Bottled In Cork," in which they mocks certain... shall we say...

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists — The Brutalist Bricks

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 11, 2010 2:07 pm
New Jersey's Ted Leo is one of this century's most overlooked songwriters, and the outspoken vegan and his band make their Matador Records debut on this sixth full-length. Punk remains at the roots of everything Leo and his talented sidemen produce, but the '70s influences that have often crept into their music are back again — particularly on...

Ted Leo Signs To Matador Records

in
By Siobhan Ozege (CHARTattack) September 23, 2009 3:49 pm
After the recent devolution of Touch And Go Records, Ted Leo (and presumably his Pharmacists) found themselves label-less. They now have a new home, since they've signed to Matador Records — a decision that came after much deliberation but little persuasion, Leo assures. "During a recent conversation over an iced coffee (and then a...

Pearl Jam Help Out Ted Leo

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 24, 2009 4:18 pm
Pearl Jam got themselves and opener Ted Leo And The Pharmacists out of a... jam (I couldn't resist) on Friday night during the band's show at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre. Leo was stuck at the border due to passport issues and that meant Pearl Jam were left without an opening act. Instead of leaving people with nothing to see, Pearl Jam...
