Pedro The Lion

Pedro The Lion, the influential project helmed by indie rock musician and songwriter David Bazan, has navigated through the music industry with a sense of integrity and candor that’s as raw and introspective as the songs themselves. Originally formed in 1995 in Seattle, Washington, Pedro The Lion carved out a unique niche within the indie rock and emo scenes of the late 90s and early 2000s with Bazan’s deeply personal lyrics, often exploring themes of faith, doubt, and human nature against the backdrop of nuanced, melodic rock. Despite disbanding in 2006, Bazan revived Pedro The Lion in 2017, bringing a new chapter to the project while retaining its core essence.

Over the years, Pedro The Lion has released a series of critically acclaimed albums and EPs, often reflecting Bazan’s evolving perspective on life and music. Albums such as "Control" and "Achilles' Heel" have achieved iconic status, appreciated for their emotional depth and musical complexity. With the recent releases such as "Phoenix" and "Havasu," Pedro The Lion continues to captivate old fans and new listeners alike, proving the project’s enduring relevance in the indie music scene. The remastered editions of earlier works, like "Winners Never Quit" and "The Only Reason I Feel Secure," offer a refreshed insight into the band’s formative sounds and thematic concerns, bridging the past with the present in a discography that spans over two decades.
