Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

(1) Pedestrian (AKA The Pedestrian) is the pseudonym of rapper James Brandon Best. Possibly the least well known of anticon’s co-founders, his first release, the 12” “The Toss & Turn”, wasn’t issued until 2004, though he had made several appearances on compilations and was part of one-off groups Stuffed Animals & Object Beings. Pedestrian’s full-length debut, Unindian Songs, Vol. 1, came out in 2005. Asides from guest spots on records by other anticon accomplices such as Telephone Jim Jesus and Themselves, he has not released anything since.

(2) Pedestrian is a rock band from Los Angeles consisting of: Joel Shearer (vocals, guitars) Zac Rae (keyboards, guitars) Blair Sinta (drums) and Joe Karnes (bass). Members have contributed as session and touring musicians to the music of: Alanis Morissette, Damien Rice, Our Lady Peace, Annie Lennox, John Cale, Fiona Apple, Gnarls Barkley, Dido, JANE’S ADDICTION, Carly Simon, and Lindsey Buckingham. They have 4 independently released CDs: the Electric and Acoustic EPs (2003) Ghostly Life (2006) and their newest album Sidegeist (2008)

    wish he'd do another record, one of my favourite rappers and he's curiously underrepresented on the actual song front. there's a couple of really good unofficial mixtapes knocking around if anyone's interested...

    until the LA- Pedestrian boys are back with new music... They sound great as the backing band on Laura Jansen's new album "Single Girls"

    i got it too - it took a month to arrive in italy :( it's amazing, a perfect album. it was hard to make a better album than ghostly life, but they did... great band, i hope they can get the success they deserve and go for a worldwide tour soon...

    Don't have any money but what I've heard from MySpace and various people is really good :)

    Woo!! I got way too excited when I saw it as default just now on my page. Haha. *dork* Anyway, now we can chat about music on here. :) Anyone get the new (band) Pedestrian album yet? I ordered it, no idea when it'll be here. I can't wait.

    I gave it a thumbs-up and now it's the default. Yay for compromise!

    Thank you, ViolenceUpfront. :) I'm disheartened that the split image was only the default for a matter of days after I added it and rallied for people to vote for it. Fighting over which image is correct, when they both are, is just silly. Can't we all just get along? ;)

    i think the split image is preferable - otherwise we're just going to have people disputing it in the shoutbox. a bit of a waste don't you think? we should be extolling these motherfuckers! anticon pedestrian rules, by the way :D!!
