A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Titus Andronicus

  • Titus Andronicus
Named after the Shakespeare tragedy, New Jersey outfit Titus Andronicus launched into the spotlight in 2008 via raves over its debut album, The Airing Of Grievances. Since then, the band has put out a vinyl-only EP, The Innocents Abroad—culled from a live performance in London—and toured non-stop. The band’s combination of punk aggression and earnest (one might even say Springsteenian) emotional bombast is certainly exhilarating—though it edges on exhausting, with more vein-popping intensity than range.
