Title Fight

After making a name for themselves with a 2019 EP on Triple B Records and tons of live shows, Wilkes-Barre's One Step Closer have come out with one of the most boundary-pushing melodic hardcore debut albums in recent memory. We spoke to the band about the making of the LP...

Inspired by the release of Hum's first album in 22 years, we put together a list of 30 essential songs that occupy the middle ground between shoegaze and heavier music - a sound which has existed for decades but is now more prominent than ever.

Ned's book 'Horizontal Rust' is ”a story about trying to understand boredom, abstract expressionism, family, personal narratives, and Wilkes-Barre.”

Will's raffle, which supports the AAPI Community Fund, includes rare items from Circa Survive, Code Orange, Title Fight, Bouncing Souls, Japanese Breakfast, and lots more.

The album offers up 10 short, fast tracks of heavy, gnarly, purposeful hardcore that, to quote Title Fight's Ned Russin, ”questions the necessity of war in the bluntest of terms and tones.”

This week's Notable Releases include Nick Cave & Warren Ellis' surprise created-in-lockdown album, Julien Baker's fleshed-out third LP, rising screamo band Dreamwell, crunk revivalist Duke Deuce's star-studded 'DUKE NUKEM,' and more...

Ned breaks down five songs/records and one book that inspired the making of his upcoming Glitterer album, 'Life Is Not A Lesson.'

In 2011, the new wave of post-hardcore came into full effect with seminal albums by Touche Amore, Pianos Become the Teeth, La Dispute, Defeater, Title Fight, and more. This edition of 'In Defense of the Genre' looks back on those albums for their 10th anniversary, the overall punk landscape of 2011, and today's young bands who are starting their own new wave

”The further along the album went it just felt right to title the album after this lyric and its solution,” Ned Russin (also of Title Fight) said.

Ned Russin's new Glitterer album arrives in February via ANTI-, and here's the second single.
