O projeto A.V. Undercover já incluiu grandes nomes no seu "lineup" anual, mas ainda guarda espaço para artistas que escapam do radar, revelações e faixas menos conhecidas. É o caso de Basia Bulat , cantora folk que escolheu, mesmo com a opção de uma faixa de Loretta Lynn na lista, uma faixa (sobre ska) do grupo punk Ted Leo and The Pharmacists . Uma mistura improvável que deu certo. Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone? , sucesso de 2003 de Ted Leo , ganha aqui uma versão curiosamente fiel mas [...]

Nashville rocker Daniel Pujol and his surnamed project PUJOL may not be familiar to everyone, but the up and comer has some pretty famous friends/supporters. After releasing efforts via Infinity Cat Records, the label of JEFF the Brotherhood's Jake and Jamin Orrall, PUJOL issued last year's Black Rabbit 73 via Jack White's Third Man Records. Now, PUJOL will add another elite name to its list of backers when the outfit delivers the Nasty, Brutish, and Short EP via Conor Oberst's Saddle Creek Records on Ocotber 18th. The EP will be the project's 10th [...]

Over the last couple of years, West London's folk scene has been churning out a number of much buzzed about bands, with Mumford & Sons leading the charge. The other rising star of the burgeoning movement is the 21-year-old Laura Marling , who earlier this year won the 2011 Brit Award for Best Female Solo Artist. On September 13, the singer-songwriter will release her third studio album, A Creature I Don't Know , and has recently announced a short nine-date U.S. tour that includes a two-night stand in Los Angeles, as well as a high profile [...]

Click below for the dates. The band last released The Brutalist Bricks in 2010.

Joe Del Tufo Ted Leo at the XPoNential Music Festival 2011 D.C.-based rockers Ted Leo and the Pharmacists have announced a fall tour, continuing an already busy year on the road. Leo & co. were just in Philly this past weekend, performing The Tyranny of Distance (their first album as a full band) at the XPoNential Music Festival. They seem to enjoy the city, seeing as the tour will kick off here with a pair of dates on Friday, September 23rd and Saturday, September 24th at Johnny Brenda’s. The 21+ [...]

The time spent on the road by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is second to very few. I saw these guys at least a handful of times during my college years just because they were always coming around. Although, to be fair, I went to school in Rhode Island and dude has a house there. But I digress. The band has lined up a pretty steady schedule for the fall along with a few scattered gigs over the next month or so. They're covering a fair portion of the U.S., though no dates have been announced for the [...]

Ted Leo's fall tour starts off September 23rd in Philadelphia. It's an odd tour as it concentrates on the eastern half of the continent, save for a fest in Portland. And only one Canadian date? There's got to be another tour to come. Keep your eyes and ears open for that. Ted Leo - "The Mighty Sparrow" Ted Leo and the Pharmacists 2011 Tour Dates: 07/26 – Chicago, IL @ Fireside Bowl 07/27 – Milwaukee, WI @ Turner Hall 07/28 – Indianapolis, IN @ [...]

Despite a rocky start to 2011 , Ted Leo went ahead and rebounded rather nicely and has been continually touring throughout the year. Now, further proving that the work of a punk journeyman is never over, Leo will reconvene his merry band of musicians The Pharmacists and hit the road this fall. After finishing several gigs this month, the autumn leg will kick off on September 23rd in Philadelphia, PA. The group will then play throughout the States, including Raleigh, NC, Miami, FL, Oxford, MS, and beyond before coming to a close on [...]

It’s worth following everything Ted Leo (@tedleo) does: his music, his music videos, and of course, his Twitter. Unlink most musicians, there are few promotional tweets in Leo’s feed, just updates on what is happening in his life and what comedians and fake Twitter accounts he is talking to presently. He loves his Twitter, and tweets several times a day — sometimes about how he is reading the works of George RR Martin (that’s a win for the geeks), and sometimes about how he looks like a “German tourist at the Beach in Spain.” It takes a clever [...]

Portland's Jackie-O Motherfucker has been making records for a long time; they released their fifteenth, Earth Sound System , yesterday. (Note: they're from the Oregon Portland, not the Maine one. Do you think the residents of those cities have a visceral hate for each other? If there was another Cleveland Heights someplace, I'd be pissed.) To once again illustrate that I am a slightly inept (but totally honest) music blogger I have the following confession: the song below is the first song that I've heard from the band. I've had fifteen years [...]
