The Both

The Both is a collaboration between singer-songwriters Aimee Mann and Ted Leo. The duo formed after touring together, and their chemistry led to a shared musical project that combines Mann’s introspective songwriting and Leo’s punk-influenced rock sensibility. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2014, showcases tight harmonies, catchy melodies, and lyrical wit, highlighting the strengths of both artists while creating something fresh and unique together.

Known for energetic live shows and a relaxed, banter-filled stage presence, The Both received praise for blending their distinct musical backgrounds into a cohesive and complementary sound. Though the collaboration is more of a side project for both artists, it remains a favorite among fans who enjoy smart lyrics and classic power-pop hooks.
