Title Fight - Shed

Title Fight - Shed


There's a lot of bands that get hyped up big time in the days of the internet, and social networking and such, some bands that people like just to gain cool points, some bands that get recognised just because someone cool in another band wear their t shirts, and a lot of the time they don't live up to the hype.

None of the above applies to Pennsylvania's Title Fight, the band have received a tremendous amount of hype, and have lived up to everything that has been said of them.

Shed is Title Fights first proper full length and have delivered an absolute belter. It plays firmly on the sound that the band have spent the last 6 years developing, paying homage to the punk rock greats such as Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, and Descendants, with emotionally charged lyrics in the vein of Saves the Day and Jawbreaker.

Across the 13 tracks here you will find a band that wear their influences on their sleeves, but do so in a way without being a carbon copy of their peers. Tracks like "Flood of 72" and "You Cant Say Kingston Doesn't Love You" blast from the speakers with such an energy and speed you will be knocked for six.

The band are from hardcore stock, and came from the same Wilkes-Barre scene that spawned the legendary Cold World and you can tell that ethic is firmly instilled in their music. The record is also produced by Walter Schriefels (Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools) and he has really bought out the aggression and angst in their sound.

This is definitely a record that needs to be in your collection, so go out and get a copy of it almost instantly!
