Label hopping Ted Leo has hopefully found his new home on Matador. He will be releasing his first album under the label, The Brutalist Bricks, on March 9th, 2010. Probably, you’ll be able to catch some of the new songs on his current winter tour. Most songs of Ted’s pack some extra punch on stage, so if you’re lucky enough to have him in a city near you, try to get tickets.

You can take a listen to a track off the album here.
