Recorded live in-studio while the band toured in support of Achilles Heel, the now digital only Tour EP 2004 (JT1120) features an assortment of PEDRO THE LION originals, in addition to three diverse covers. Tour EP 2004, originally self-released in July of 2004 by the band, culls from the extensive PEDRO THE LION back catalog, featuring new arrangements of 'Transcontinental,' 'I Am Always The One Who Calls,' and 'Slow and Steady Wins The Race,' juxtaposed against unique cover ballads from Randy Newman, Cat Power and Radiohead. The end result captures the fundamental nature of PEDRO THE LION; averting conjecture over solemn swells of emotion, coaxing the angst from everyday life, but ultimately, never losing sight of a distant hope.

Recorded while the band toured in support of Achilles' Heel, the iTunes Exclusive Stations EP (JT1104) features radio station versions of an assortment of PEDRO THE LION hits. Big Trucks off the band's watershed It's Hard to Find A Friend along with Of Minor Prophets and Their Prostitute Wives, and I Do were recorded as part of a live broadcast on WLUW-FM in Chicago on June 30th 2004. CBC Radio recorded the remaining tracks live in Toronto at the Horseshoe Tavern on June 24, 2004. The entire show was broadcast a few weeks later as a part of the CBC Just Concerts Series.

Simply put PEDRO THE LION have made the album of their career. After the huge crossover success of 2002's Control (JT1072), it was only a matter of time before David Bazan and company would fully realize their potential swansong. Beautifully achieved, Achilles' Heel (JT1095) is crafted as a scathing glance into the crosshairs of the American dream, a heartbreaking sketch of husbandhood and ultimately an exploration of faith as told through eleven perfectly textured vignettes. As sonically mature as it is emotionally complex, Achilles' Heel is imbued with the hopeful sadness that only PEDRO THE LION can, and do deliver.

PEDRO THE LION are back and armed with a ten-song arsenal that heralds another beautiful progression within the band’s sound and lyrical vision. A deepening complexity to their songwriting mirrors the complexity of messages and lyrical content. Anchored by trademark rolling, indelible hooks and Dave Bazan's vocals, which swing from sweet indictments to mournful mocking, PEDRO THE LION digs deep to examine the vast disparity between the "haves" and the "have-nots".

The follow-up EP to PEDRO THE LION'S debut album was originally released in 1999 and hailed by critics and fans alike as further proof of singer/songwriter David Bazan’s genius.

Following a critically acclaimed debut album for Made In Mexico, singer/songwriter David Bazan returned to his Seattle home studio to craft the bulk of Winners Never Quit - a haunted collection of new material that traces the fictional story of a man who vows to maintain his good name despite a slew of devious activity and malicious intent. Stripped down to a voice and a guitar, Bazan is a modern-day folk champion. Behind a band, he loses his timidity and commands attention with an impassioned voice and a compelling narrative. In either sphere, Bazan is an accomplished artist and unique talent.
