Ms. Led has become known for their infectious riffs, melodies and hooks that draw you in. Their music contains equal parts crunchy power-pop and punk rock energy.

Their performances deliver the energy and raw emotion Ms. Led's audience has come to expect, sparking notable excitement from fans and press alike. The band continues to tour extensively, as well as playing such prestigious festivals as the Bumbershoot Festival, Ladyfest, and the Capitol Hill Block Party.

Ms. Led's 2002 album, "Afternoon in Central Park" features tracks mixed by Kramer (Urge Overkill, Low, Galaxie 500) and songs made popular by Ms. Led's energetic live performances. "Afternoon in Central Park" garnered rave reviews nationwide - hailed as "an addictive listen from start to finish". (Devil in the Woods). The album was voted one of the Top 90.3 Albums of 2002 by KEXP listeners and continues to receive regular airplay nationwide.

Ms. Led's highly anticipated new album, "These Things We Say", was produced by Martin Feveyear (Mudhoney, Queens of the Stone Age).
