For their fifth full-length release, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists met up with Brendan Canty (Fugazi) at Long View Farms to iron out a new set of anthems that arrive with a confident and outspoken immediacy. With Living with the Living, Ted & Co. wipe clean the slate that once held names like Weller, Strummer and Bragg and indulge some of their farthest-reaching musical ambitions.

Along with the punk sound and energy found in Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’ previous works, Living with the Living finds soul, funk and R&B injected into the trajectory of Chris Wilson’s dexterous percussion, Dave Lerner’s bedrock bass and an onslaught of combustibles from Ted’s possessed fingertips.

The most indelible stamp Ted leaves on his work is an incitement to his fans to take themselves seriously, never compromise their ideals and, essentially, make a difference in theirs and the lives of those around them. As we’ve learned from past artists, vital, impassioned music is often the direct result of a dire political climate, and Living with the Living is a shining example of that truism. A voice of dissent with a firm grasp of the past and a hopeful eye to the future, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are rebels without a pause.
