+ Balance and Composure + Transit

Doors 7.30pm


Following the release of their critically acclaimed album, “Shed” earlier this year on SideOneDummy records and sold out dates up and down the country, Title Fight return to the UK later this year for a full tour. Joining them on this run are fellow Pennsylvania natives, Balance and Composure and Boston's Transit, who draw inspiration from seminal groups like Lifetime and Saves The Day.

After a handful of singles and EPs on small indie labels, Title Fight released their album ‘Shed’ On May 2nd on SideOneDummy. "We've been a band for seven years and this is the first time we have a recording that's longer than seven minutes so this is a long time coming," explains bassist/vocalist Ned Russin.

Produced by Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand songwriter Walter Schreifels, ‘Shed’ sees the band showing their love of melodic hardcore acts like Lifetime but placing them in a new context that makes these twelve energetic anthems instant classics. "We wrote the last record when we were in high school since then we've dropped out of school, seen the world and had life experiences that are all reflected here," Russin explains when asked what it's been like to sacrifice everything over the past year and tour alongside acts like H20 and New Found Glory.

From the Hot Water Music-esque power of "27" to the old-school feel of "You Can't Say Kingston Doesn't Love You," ‘Shed’ is also a remarkably varied record that proves hardcore doesn't need to be formulaic in order to be accepted. "The most important thing is that this is a Title Fight record," Russin summarizes, “we're not trying to pose and be anything we're not."
