Much raved about blogosphere wunderkiddos with powerful name.
Will conquer, shake ass, and blow you away *****
The blogs are talking, and the comparisons to The Kinks, The
Pogues, Bruce Springsteen, and even Arcade Fire are all
getting thrown around. What you hear is three years in the
making through over 18 different band members and touring by
playing basements in North Carolina or a guy's living room in
suburban Illinois or a college in New Jersey. They will play
anywhere and they will blow you away no matter where it is, or
whether its 12 or 1200 people. That's a good sign of character
in our book, and a sign that this band may be the one!

In 'Titus Andronicus' Troubleman have found themselves a great
(if surprisingly straight) indie rock band. This New Jersey
quintet don't sound nearly as despondent as some of their song
titles may suggest: both 'No Future Part One' and 'No Future
Part Two' carry a suggestion that there's something genuinely
uplifting and special about this band, regardless of whatever
superficial gestures towards misanthropy might litter the
album. Some of this stuff could have come from the Arcade Fire
book of epic songwriting, with album closer and single 'Albert
Camus' sounding not entirely unlike a rowdy Win Butler
sing-along. The band would probably hate that sort of
comparison, and sure, there's something more resolutely
underground about Titus Andronicus, but beneath that surface
veneer of slightly sloppy recording and howled vocals you'll
find a band that's a lot easier to love than they might have
you believe. Awesome. -boomkat.com
