Exclusive Premiere: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists: "The Sons of Cain" [MP3] (http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/Ted%20Leo%20and%20the%20Pharmacists%20-%20The%20Sons%20of%20Cain.mp3)
Ted Leo/Pharmacists have never been repped to the best of Pitchfork's abilities: 2001's revered The Tyranny of Distance and 2003's Hearts of Oak both pulled in mid-to-low 8's when they were first reviewed-- and Hearts of Oak didn't even score Best New Music. What in the hell!
Granted, we did our best to right this injustice a couple years back with our Top 100 Albums of 2000-04: Hearts of Oak charted at #57, while The Tyranny of Distance rightly checked in at #31. And of course, we did bring dude on for last year's Pitchfork Music Festival, where he famously gave himself a head injury onstage. So it's with great happiness we present to you the following:
As most of you should know by now, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' fourth album, the Brendan Canty-produced Living With the Living, is due March 20. Well, today our pals at venerable Chicago institution Touch & Go hooked us up with the exclusive premiere of its debut track, "The Sons of Cain".

Sounds rocking to me.

I read that he's flying solo this Friday at North Six. Maybe this has been discussed already recently. I miss a lot of stuff. Anyway, sounds like something I'm gonna check out and thought other FOTs might want to as well. Yay Ted!
