Titus Andronicus
The Airing Of Grievences appeals to me in the same way that everything that Hickey or the Replacements did appeals to me. It’s a mix of a lot of things I like in one place at full volume. Well crafted pop-songs sung by a lunatic punk band full of alcoholics who were going to art school (or hanging out with a bunch of rich kids going to art school) and made sure it sounded fucked. Really, who else names their band after a Shakespeare tragedy or calls their first single “Camus” after an existential philosopher? That’s right, wasted art-fags from New Jersey. How’d you know?
