Titus Andronicus, Arch M and Your Twenties
Did you see the ‘New Bands 2009′ lists? If the idiots who voted for them knew anything they’d have voted for these three bands. Oh well who cares, the industry can have Frankmusik if that’s what they really want, we’re happy with MP3s from these dudes.
Titus Andronicus
The ghosts of a bloody Shakespearean tragedy or some French existential author are never far from the unflinchingly aggressive Titus Andronicus. These guys played their first UK show at the Old Blue Last a while back and it was intense. Led to battle by the raging bull of Patrick Stickles they smashed the place up, somehow making our sense of impending doom seem like a glorious crusade. Three minutes of low fuzzy vocals on ‘No Future’ burn like a fuse before finally erupting into life with the familiar concrete melodies. Everyone’s got a hard-on for this band, you can see why, they make you want to rage. And read more books. But mostly rage.
