Next time you're in a convenience store, rip page 24 out of the February 6th issue of Rolling Stone magazine, there's a full page on Mr. Ted Leo which gives his opinion on major labels, US foreign policy and more. The new Ted Leo / Pharmacists album "Hearts Of Oak" drops on February 11th on Lookout. Click below for Leo's upcoming tour dates and check back with Lookout soon for some yet-to-be-announced college radio and record store solo appearances in N.E.
