Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Before the live recording of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists covering The Ramones in June 2023, the band had released 'The Hanged Man,' an album that showcases their unique blend of punk rock and introspective lyrics. This live performance stands out as a highlight, not just because of its vibrant energy but also because it connects to the band's long-standing history of honoring their influences—like The Ramones—while bringing their distinct style to the forefront. Interestingly, Ted Leo has always championed a DIY ethos, often embracing spontaneous performances. This event at the A.V. Club Roof is a lovely nod to that spirit, celebrating not only nostalgia but also the ongoing evolution of the band within the current indie rock scene.
