Titus Andronicus: official website; myspace; Titus Andronicus is a rock and roll band from Glen Rock. In the
beginning, there were only three people in the band. At one point,
there were eleven people in the band. Today, there are five people in
the band. Titus Andronicus take their name from a minor Shakespearean
tragedy, not, as many people believe, from some sort of killer robot
from the future. Titus Andronicus formed in the spring of 2005. Titus
Andronicus released an album earlier this year on XL Recordings called
THE MONITOR. Titus Andronicus practice at Ian's house. Titus
Andronicus like to scream and carry on at excessive volume. Titus
Andronicus like songs which are fast more than songs which are slow.
Titus Andronicus think slow songs are okay sometimes. Titus Andronicus
never sing about love, only hate. Titus Andronicus have no hope for
the future. Titus Andronicus believe only in nothingness. Everyone in
Titus Andronicus was born to die. Titus Andronicus crave your approval
but will settle for your utter disdain. The enemy is everywhere.

The So So Glos: myspace; These punk rockers are wise beyond their years with a modest air of streetwise attitude. Fine musicians and hungry for action, they harken back to the days of The Clash with rambunctious protest music and pop rhythm flair. The So So Glos rocked critics and cynics alike at this year's SXSW and returned to Brooklyn with seemingly more energy than they left wtih. Rest assured, The So So Glos won't stop until the last barfly is singing along.

Attack Release: official website; myspace; Youth is wasted on the young. Attack Release plays fury without the folly, resignation without the drama, modern boredom without the precocity. Nothing slick about it, which is to say nothing unnecessary: just lean, candid guitar rock about the sad romances of people and places. Think Television, but minus the convolution; Guided By Voices, but minus the logorrhea; Pavement, but post-Pavement. Think Guitar Hero, if you like, except with songs you didn't know you loved. Attack Release is necessary in the way the best bands have always been necessary: simple, tuneful, and unerringly wise. Fully aware of all the times and places of the world and, better still, at home in none of them.
