Fire Note Says: Watch out because Title Fight have some teeth!

Album Review:
What is the last album you listened to that had some real venom? Well, Pennsylvania punk hardcore band Title Fight will hope you say Shed after taking it for a spin. It is their new record and once you check it out, the album will most certainly be your new pick, as it has a perfect balance of edgy throaty sung vocals with a soaring melodic component that will have you coming back for more quickly. Title Fight is either completely hyped up, like the rocking title track that gets right in your face or they have the ability to pull the energy inward, as the almost instrumental "Safe In Your Skin" plugs along or how the closing track "GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) smolders with an intensity that showcases their maturing nature as a band. Shed is only 27 minutes long, so Title Fight do not mess around with these 12 tracks. The band is all business here and it comes off in this record as confidence. Shed brings the controlled noise over and over, while it was produced by Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand songwriter Walter Schreifels. This not only was the perfect selection for a producer but Title Fight mirror Schreifels's same type of energy on Shed, that provides plenty of highlights and should also bring some new fans to this genre!

Key Tracks: "Shed", "Flood Of '72", "GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)"
