█ WOW, big pre here! Keep this advance off that █
█ p2p junk. █
█ █
█ For over ten years, Ted Leo has been one of the █
█ most progressive forces in East Coast █
█ independent music, with a unique combination of █
█ punk and folk, soul and hardcore, and tradition █
█ and experimentation. Originally rising to a █
█ small degree of fame in the late-'80s New York █
█ hardcore scene by playing with Citizen's Arrest █
█ and Animal Crackers, Leo left New York for █
█ Washington, D.C., in 1990, when he founded and █
█ fronted Chisel, one of the first mod/punk █
█ revival outfits to gain national notoriety. Leo █
█ was the primary songwriter and singer of █
█ Chisel, recording two full-length records with █
█ the band that were released on Gern Blandsten █
█ in the mid-'90s and leading the band on █
█ countless short tours. The songwriting was as █
█ infectious and calculated as that of Brit-rock █
█ legends the Kinks, yet the rhythms remained █
█ fueled by the anthemic energy reminiscent of █
█ bands like the Who and the Clash. Chisel's █
█ eventual breakup in 1997 came after their █
█ critically acclaimed sophomore full-length, Set █
█ You Free. The band's reputation seemed to █
█ flourish after their breakup, however, and even █
█ though the retro trends in indie rock would █
█ eventually gain enough popularity to inspire █
█ the likes of mod underground sweethearts like █
█ the Mooney Susuki and the Delta 72, the █
█ influence of Chisel goes largely unnoticed. Leo █
█ went on to a variety of musical endeavors, █
█ including two years of on-again-off-again █
█ touring as a guitarist with the Spinanes, and a █
█ short-lived project called the Sin Eaters that █
█ he founded with his brother, Danny Leo, on █
█ drums and former Van Pelt bassist Sean Greene. █
█ The Sin Eaters' progressive, politically █
█ charged, punk-fused rock and local all-star █
█ lineup took the New York underground by storm █
█ between 1997 and 1998, until Danny Leo left the █
█ band to work on his own material and eventually █
█ founded the Holy Childhood. When the Sin Eaters █
█ disbanded without a recorded legacy in 1998, █
█ Ted Leo was left without a band and began his █
█ career as a solo artist. He remained active by █
█ wearing the hat of producer for the Secret █
█ Stars' debut record, Genealogies, and touring █
█ alone on the East Coast and through the █
█ Midwest. He eventually recorded a self-titled █
█ full-length on his homestead, Gern Blandsten █
█ Records, in 1999 with a new band, the █
█ Pharmacists, who included various friends and █
█ affiliates of the Secret Stars, including Jodi █
█ Buonanno. This record marked a notable change █
█ in Leo's sound, which, mostly due to his █
█ performance practices, was more and more rooted █
█ in songwriting legends like Billy Bragg and █
█ Alex Chilton. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists █
█ released a split with One AM Radio later that █
█ year as a collaborative effort of both Gern █
█ Blansten and Garbage Czar. In the spring of █
█ 2000, Leo's sophomore effort, Trouble in █
█ Treble, was released on New Jersey-based Ace Fu █
█ Records, displaying a more aggressive and █
█ romantic bent to Leo's writing. In the early █
█ summer of 2001, Leo released his polished █
█ studio effort, The Tyranny of Distance, on █
█ Lookout Records. █

▄│▀ rH has been releasing stuff for about four years now. although we ▀│▄
█ committed ourselves to release only stuff roughly characterized by the █
█ terms punk and hardcore we've been playing a big role in the scene in our █
█ four years of existence. a main concept of rH has always been the idea of a █
█ a leaderless group. decisions are met on the base of discussion, rather than █
█ authority and hierarchy. this way of handling issues can be pretty annoying █
█ sometimes, as it can take ages to agree on certain issues and get stuff █
▓ done. however, the occasional lack of organisation is a sacrifice rH is ▓
▓ willing to make, to guarantee individual freedom and thus a relaxed ▓
▓ atmosphere. after all it's amazing that we've kept the machine running for ▓
▓ about four years this way. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ we know that our releases may contribute to the growing sale loss of record ▓
▒ companies. generally that's no big deal of course, the whining of the record ▒
▒ industry is pathetic and we encourage everyone to pirate their music. ▒
▒ unfortunately the style we release is very often put out by small, ▒
▒ independent labels which work on a very low-profit basis, actually dependent ▒
▒ on record sales. so significant loss of sales in this case doesn't mean some ▒
▓ rockstar is making a few million less on his latest nu-metal album than he ▓
▓ used to, but us loosing the opportunity to listen to good music. ▓
▓ ▓
▓ therefore we ask you not to distribute this release on public sites or ▓
▓ peer to peer networks! please do not consider this release as a substitute ▓
▓ to the original, but as a way to promote new bands and check out records ▓
█ before you buy them. █
█ █
█ so we urge you to support the bands, attend their shows, buy their vinyls, █
█ cds and tshirts. so far there's a fairly good network of underground labels █
█ providing us with outputs from awesome bands, your ongoing support is █
█ required to keep the scene alive! █
