While Title Fight is a new band to many, like myself, they’ve actually been around for a few years now. Â Following the footsteps of hardcore acts like Lifetime and Jawbreaker, they’re bringing back an familiar sound to a genre that I love. Â Hardcore is a scene that is often misunderstood, but I’m telling you, Title Fight is not a band to be missed. Â Before their debut full length, Shed, was even released, they had so much buzz around them, it’s hard to believe they’re 20-21 years old!
Shed hits stores May 3rd on SideOneDummy.

This album starts off rad with the first track, Coxton Yard, which happens to be my favorite on the whole record. Â That does NOT mean that it does downhill from there. Â Track after track, I am loving these kids more and more. Â You wouldn’t believe Jamie’s tiny frame by the heart that comes out of his vocals. Â I can hear the band chemistry through this fucking album. Â That is no lie. Â The third song, Flood of 72, is also a personal favorite from the album. Â I love when songs start off slow for a few seconds, and then burst into quick drums that make it hard not to tap your foot or bob your head to.
If you’re looking for something a little slower, tracks like Crescent-Shapred Depression and Safe in Your Skin will be more your bag on this record. Â These guys know what they’re doing, and if you’re not listening to Title Fight, you’re missing out. Â This is a band that’s real as fuck, and they aren’t wasting your time with Shed. Â Go pick it up May 3rd.
