Epitaph 

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 The Only Reason I Feel Secure. Available here on Indie Exclusive LP and Remastered Edition LP.

The Only Reason I Feel Secure is the second EP by Pedro the Lion. Originally released as a 5 track EP in 1999 on Made In Mexico Records, it was re-issued by Jade Tree records in 2001 with 3 bonus tracks which originally constituted the bands’s first single – and appear only on the Jade Tree reissue. After a shifting lineup, Pedro the Lion eventually became a one-man outfit. That man is David Bazan. A Seattle native, Bazan cut his teeth playing in hardcore bands before forming Pedro in 1995, taking the band's name from a character he made up for a possible children's book. Under the moniker of Pedro the Lion, Bazan creates melodic pop in the vein of Bedhead, Hayden, and Sebadoh, with a lyrical focus on relationships -- with both other people and God. In early 2006, Bazan retired the Pedro moniker to continue on with solo work under his own name. In December of 2017 Bazan announced that Pedro The Lion be reunited to make a new album and tour the world in 2018.
