Song / Love / MP3 New Ted Leo Song - "Even Heroes Have To Die"

Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 12:18 PM

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are releasing their new record The Brutalist Bricks on March 9th, just 10 days before they play Neumos with the Hive Dwellers (featuring Calvin Johnson), and the Sea Navy.

This is the first single, "Even Heroes Have to Die," and I FUCKING LOVE IT. That's my official review.

Tickets are still available to the Neumos show—click here to buy.

I'm going to be singing those "Oh whooa, oh whoa!"s for the next two months.

In a perfect world, Ted Leo would have been to the American charts what The Jam were to the UK.

#1 - "Bomb Repeat Bomb." I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

@3 I dunno, man. It's not my favorite TL song, but when I saw him play it live for the first time I gained a new appreciation for it.

I just don't think rap-metal is a good look for anyone who isn't PE and Anthrax.

I agree with James (sorry Alithea).

I guess new is subjective, this song got released onto the interwebs in late November. and who says it's the first single? I've heard they've made a video for a different song (The Mighty Sparrow) if that counts for anything these days.

either way, yes, everyone should go see this guy when he comes to town because he's the greatest.
