Pedro the Lion is the brainchild and main output of Seattle singer/songwriter David Bazan. Formed in 1995, the band officially dissolved in January 2006, after which Bazan pursued a solo career. However, in late 2017, Pedro the Lion made a comeback with reunion shows announced by Bazan. The band signed to Polyvinyl Record Company in January 2018 and released new material in early 2019. Throughout its history, Pedro the Lion has had a fluid lineup, with Bazan being the only consistent member from album to album.

Some notable members who have contributed to Pedro the Lion include Brian Olson (drums), Nick Peterson (guitar), Tim Schiefer (guitar), Travis Smith (bass), Johnathon Ford (bass), Blake Wescott (drums), Benjamin Brubaker (drums), Josh Golden (bass), Ben Gibbard (bass - on tour), Trey Many (drums), Casey Foubert (drums/keyboards), TW Walsh (drums), Ken Maiuri (bass), James McAlister(synthesizer, percussion, drums, guitar) Erik Walters(guitar) and Sean Lane(drums).

If you enjoy artists such as Cursive, David Bazan himself or bands like The Good Life and Jeremy Enigk, then you'll definitely appreciate Pedro the Lion's unique sound. With influences ranging from

Pedro the Lion's 2004 release Achilles Heel is not only the band's final album to date but also the finest of their career. After the huge crossover success of 2002's Control, it was only a matter of time before David Bazan and company would fully realize their potential swan song. Beautifully achieved, Achilles Heel 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. Lyrically, dry wit and melancholy are marbled together, creating relaxed narratives with subtle and often profound depth.
