The thing about Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is that the "pharmacists" keep on changing. Recurring and longand if it's even possible to mix the underground scene with coffee shop mellowness. Most of the songs explore human tropes (and not in the Top 40 radio hits way). Ted Leo and the Pharmacists have a sincerity you can feel and hear, which deserves merit coming out of this generation. So, melt your hearts away and fight injustice while still having upbeat rhythms and riffs.
Studio Albums
* '''Ted Leo, rx/pharmacists''': This is really a solo effort but considered the debut album for whatever reasons is anyone's guess. However, it's still worth a shot because it is a good collaborative effort and has Ted Leo's uniqueness imprinted on it. A track that really stands out is "The 'Nice People' Argument" because it has a folksy melancholic sound.
* '''The Tyranny of Distance''': This album has a light, fun, indie rock tone. There's just something about the Leo croon that just fits. "Biomusicology" is a fun opener for the album and the songs "Under the Hedge" and "Timorous Me" follow with just as much oomph.
* '''Hearts of Oak''': This album is mostly about shady nights, turmoil, and inner conflict. In other words, it explains the misunderstood indie scene perfectly. "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone?" is pretty much a solid rock tune. It's guitar driven goodness. "The High Party" is full of political, personal, and societal angst but it's awkwardly fun sounding.
* '''Shake the Sheets''': This album follows suit. You can expect the same indie guitar rock but this time around it has a few (almost) rock steady punk vibes but not the "hate the world" punk. Good tracks include "Me and Mia," "The One Who Got Us Out" and "Bleeding Powers."
* '''Living with the Living''': This album's tracklist is packed with songs about people and how they interact. The endearing but bittersweet track "Colleen" is one major highlight of this album. "Who Do You Love" is another track to check out."Bomb.Repeat.Bomb." is what you would call an "enraged" Ted Leo song.
* '''The Brutalist Bricks''': The most recent musical endeavor by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is tried and true. They touch on the same stuff as usual but it's jumpy as all hell and you'll love it. "One Polaroid A Day" is one bouncy, headwaving worthy song. "Mourning in America" gives the album the depth you've come to expect from this band.
