"I consider myself a perpetual English major, but I also get into bar
fights."
- Ted Leo
TED LEO finally returns with the follow-up to 2000's "The Tyranny Of
Distance" with "Hearts Of Oak" and he's brought his incredible band, The
Pharmacists with him. They've spent the last two years touring with
Quasi, Juno, Q & Not U, Radio 4 and on their own; delivering TED's music
to appreciative crowds. Produced by Nicolas Vernhes and~TED LEO himself,
"Hearts Of Oak" takes off where "Tyranny" left of, with passionate
moments and moods inspired by Generation X, Dexy's Midnight Runners and
The Ruts; the album references the intensity and politics of late 80's DC
Hardcore scene as well as the political dance pop of Chumbawumba. The
basic facts are these: TED LEO used to be in Chisel and The Sin-Eaters.
His songwriting and performances are compared to the likes of Thin Lizzy,
Paul Weller, Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg and informed by his love of
punk rock. TED LEO is one of the most important, original and earnest of
today's underground/indie punk scene. Hearts Of Oak is a vital record
that defies categorization and is undeniably great on every level.
enjoy!

...ABOUT.................................
rH has been releasing stuff for about three years now. although we
committed ourselves to release only stuff roughly characterized by the terms
punkrock and hardcore we played a big role in the mp3 scene in our three
years of existence. a main concept of rH has always been the idea of 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 occasionally 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 three years this way.
recently the founder of rH left the group. that was for sure sad, but to take
this step was probably a good decision for both the group and himself.
farewell, beloved chief-munkey! besides currently undergoing some
structural changes, we are still alive and proud to put out rH release
number 5000 and further!
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,
independant 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!
...GREETZ.................................
