Formed in 2003 in Kingston, Pennsylvania, Title Fight serves as a throwback to the early days of emo and post-hardcore, combining a driving, guitar-driven sound with anxious and gravelly hardcore vocals. The group initially formed as a trio consisting of Jamie Rhoden on guitar and vocals, as well as twin brothers Ned Russin and Ben Russin on bass and drums, eventually adding guitarist Shane Moran in 2005. The band released a number of singles and EPs that would eventually be compiled on 2009’s The Last Thing You Forget, released on Run for Cover. In 2011 the band signed on with SideOneDummy Records, and set to work on their proper full-length debut. Wanting to do things right, Title Fight turned to hardcore mainstay Walter Schreifels (formerly of Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuits) to produce their album, and later that year released the Billboard-charting Shed. ~ Gregory Heaney
