Treble in Trouble is an EP by the Washington, D.C. rock band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, released in 2000 by Ace Fu Records. It was the group's first release as a full band, following a debut album which had essentially been a Ted Leo solo release. Following that album Leo assembled a backing band called The Pharmacists and recorded this EP, which was much less experimental than his solo releases and structured more in punk rock and indie rock. It includes versions of two songs Leo had written with his previous band, the Sin Eaters. It was also the first release Brendan Canty of Fugazi would be producing releases of theirs.
In 1999, Ted Leo released Tej leo(?), Rx / pharmacists, the debut album under the Pharmacists name. The release delved heavily into lo-fi slacker rock and dub-influenced rock and was a large departure from the music he was making before with his bands Chisel and The Sin Eaters. After the release, Leo started recruiting friends of his from other bands to play with him live, nicknaming this backing band as "The Pharmacists".
All songs written by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists except where indicated.
