You might know him now as the sensitive vegan singer/songwriter, but did you know before he launched his own solo career that Ted Leo used to play in bands like Animal Crackers, Puzzlehead, and The Juiceboxes? Okay, I made that last one up, but in all seriousness, he was pretty hardcore. If you’re bummed you never got to see young hardcore Teddy playing live, lucky for you Leo announced this week that he’s reuniting with his former bandmates of Citizens Arrest. For those not in the know or younger than 35, Citizens Arrest is a New York-based hardcore band that existed from 1989-1991, with Leo as their original singer/guitarist. The band is currently planning shows in New York and Philadelphia, and maybe your city too, if you’re tough enough.
