Ted Leo is something of a cover song artiste, and a man capable of covering nearly any track in the history of popular music, be it Tears For Fears for the AV Club or Kelly Clarkson for UGO.
So, it must have been inevitable that something would eventually creep into his work. I've been rocking the b-sides single he release for Record Store Day all week. While "Oldest House" is pretty good, "North Coast" is a fricking monster jam, and beats the hell out of anything on Brutalist Bricks. It had some definite classic rock nods, but it seems that the chorus sounds a lot like Boston's "Something About You."
