Titus Andronicus
A punk-inflected indie rock group whose bawling, thrashing sound reflected a wide range of influences ranging from the Pixies to Bright Eyes to Bruce Springsteen, Glen Rock, NJ's Titus Andronicus formed in 2005 with Liam Betson, Ian Graetzer, Eric Harm, Patrick Stickles, and Dan Tews. The band's debut full-length, The Airing of Grievances (which makes reference to a {#Seinfeld} episode), was first released by Troubleman Unlimited in 2008, then picked up for wider distribution by XL Recordings in January 2009. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music Guide[more]

Listening to Titus Andronicus' debut record, The Airing of Grievances, makes you think that maybe the band recorded the album in much the same way the Kops chased criminals. It's a rollicking, rambling, yowling mess of a record framed by the band's half-baked literary ambitions (check the band's name and references to {$Cormac [ read more ]
