There is more than one artist with this name:

(1) Pedestrian is the psuedonym 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. The next year, Pedestrian’s full-length debut, Unindian Songs, Vol. 1, came out.

(2) Pedestrian -Pedestrian is a rock band from Los Angeles

-Pedestrian consists of: Joel Shearer (vocals, guitars) Zac Rae (keyboards, guitars) Blair Sinta (drums) and Joe Karnes (bass)

Ghostly Life (2006) and their newest album Sidegeist (2008)

-Pedestrian recorded Sidegeist independently at the band’s studio in Los Angeles

-Pedestrian has nothing to do with walking or being ordinary so put those thoughts to rest

-Pedestrian is lyrical, poetic, chaotic, dirty, beautiful, loud, dynamic and we like David Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Nick Drake, The Cure, U2, Nirvana, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley to name a few

-Pedestrian’s 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 to name a few

-Pedestrian does not sound like any of the above

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.

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!!

Joel Shearer's PEDESTRIAN is the best, that man if full of talent and I wish these two artists would be seperated, they aren't even comparable to each other.
