People really like Ted Leo. He’s a great songwriter, his music is very palatable, it’s got a great political message, it’s fun. I’ve never been that huge of a fan, but I like and respect him. This combination with Titus makes it an excellent show to attend, even if you’re loathe to cross the river to Hoboken. You never go wrong with Ted Leo, and Titus Andronicus is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. Listen to the track below. It’s brilliant. Patrick’s slurred screams are some of the most compelling vocals on the scene. The song is a ton of fun and lyrically astonishing in its honest simplicity. ”There’ll be no more cigarettes/ No more having sex/ No more drinking until you fall on the floor/ No more indie rock/ Just a ticking clock/ You have no time for that anymore.” Sarcastic, simple, brilliant. Enough waxing on about the virtues of Titus. Download this song and go to the show.
