Biography
Washington DC, United States (1999 – present)
The band consists of singer-songwriter and guitarist Ted Leo, guitarist James Canty, bassist Marty ‘Violence’ Key, and drummer Chris Wilson. After his previous band, Chisel, broke up in the late 1990s, Ted recorded the Tej Leo(?) Rx Pharmacists album in 1999, followed by the Treble in Trouble EP in 2000.
His next album, 2001’s The Tyranny of Distance, quickly gained him a cult following and critical praise. Dave Lerner and Chris Wilson became permanent members of the band during the tour that year, as did keyboard player Dorien Garry. James Canty (ex-Nation of Ulysses, Make-up, etc.) also played with the band during this time.
The album Hearts of Oak followed in 2003, which also saw the release of the concert film Dirty Old Town and the Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead EP. Garry left the band before the recording of 2004’s Shake the Sheets, which has led them into their current setup as a power trio. The new record featured fewer obscure references and more overt political content than his previous releases did, though his music has always been known for its engagement with politics.
The band tours extensively around North America. Leo is a strict vegan. His brother Chris Leo is also a singer/songwriter and a member of The Lapse.

@thunder2221 if your plays were autocorrected from one artist to another then they don't show the albums. So if you scrobbled them under "Ted Leo & the Pharmacists" they would all autocorrect to "Ted Leo and the Pharmacists" but the albums for the scrobbles wouldn't carry over. I don't know why

Ted Leo never disappoints. Except the time he didn't play "Counting Down the Hours." But really, everything he does is gold.
