After three spectacular albums on the now failing Lookout Records brand, Ted Leo and his Pharmacists have moved over to the king of the indie labels, Chicago's Touch and Go Records. The label that brought us Quasi, Dirty Three , Man or Astro-man? and the great Jesus Lizard had the following to say:
Touch and Go is thrilled to announce the addition of Ted Leo to our roster of artists. Known as much for his exuberant live performances as for his stellar pop-punk anthems and intelligent songwriting, Ted has a long and distinguished indie rock pedigree. Albums such as The Tyranny of Distance, Hearts of Oak, and Shake the Sheets (all recorded with his band The Pharmacists) have garnered heaps of critical acclaim and the appreciation of scores of dedicated fans. And it's not hard to see why: Ted's songwriting prowess is matched equally by his ferocious guitar playing. His energy, dedication, and unending commitment to his work are inspiring, and the entire Touch and Go camp is truly honored to have him join our family!
