About The Tyranny Of Distance

TED LEO is a rare gem in the indie rock world. Having labored for years in the mod pop outfit CHISEL, he released his first solo effort in 1999 which fused his influences from such artists as THE JAM, ELVIS COSTELLO and SQUEEZE with his love of reggae and dub music. The Tyranny Of Distance takes this one step further and is a brilliant showcase of Ted's incredible vocal and guitar playing talent and amazing song writing skills. Produced by Brendan Canty (drummer of FUGAZI, producer of THE MAKE-UP and collaborater with LOIS), The Tyranny Of Distance has moments of such pure musical happiness it is difficult to stop listening to it once you hear it for the first time. This is a special record in a similar vein to ELLIOT SMITH in its pop purity, but with a unique rock assault. The recording has a hyper-energetic, almost live sound, but with the all the polish of the accomplished musicians who performed and produced. In addition to Brendan Canty producing, his brother James Canty from THE MAKE UP and THE NATION OF ULYSSES also played on the record along with Seb Thomson of TRANS AM and former members of GOLDEN, TSUNAMI and THE TELEGRAPH MELTS. TED LEO is a force to be reckoned with that will be partially responsible for saving music.
