Track Listing:

Title Fight is an American punk rock band from Kingston, Pennsylvania, United States, formed in 2003. Title Fight plays music in the vein of Jawbreaker, Kid Dynamite and Lifetime, taking influence from such melodic punk rock acts as Saves the Day and emo bands Knapsack and Seaweed. They signed to SideOneDummy Records on January 19, 2011 and have toured the United States with bands such as New Found Glory, Bayside, Comeback Kid, Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, and Rise Against.

Early years

Title Fight formed in 2003 as a three piece band consisting of Jamie Rhoden on guitar and vocals and twin brothers Ned and Ben Russin on bass and drums respectively, playing local shows in Kingston and Wilkes-Barre, PA. Ned Russin claims his older brother, Alex Russin is a huge influence in their formation of Title Fight. Their name came from the cover of an old HBO showtime guide that Ned had read in the attic when he was younger. In addition to popular punk bands, Rhoden claims the Positive Numbers Youth Crew Fest (an annual hardcore/punk music festival in Wilkes-Barre, PA) was an influence on the bands formation. The band produced a demo entitled "Down for the Count" in 2003 that is still available on the internet.

In 2005 the band added Shane Moran on second guitar and recorded two demos in 2005 and 2006, during which they played shows in what they call a "small, tight-knit community" around Kingston, PA.

Progression

They recorded a split with the Erection Kids in 2007 on FlightPlan Records. Members of the Erection Kids later went on to form Balance and Composure. The band quickly followed up their first release with the Kingston 7" (also on FlightPlan Records) in 2008. Title Fight played with Fireworks on their tour with Set Your Goals Summer of 2007, ultimately leading to Jeff's (owner of Run For Cover Records) discovery of Title Fight. The Last Thing You Forget 7" was recorded in December 2008 at the Getaway Group in Massachusetts with Jay Maas and released in June 2009 on Run for Cover Records. The 7" featured three new songs while the CD release featured all of their releases to date. The artwork for the album was done by John Slaby, a friend from Wilkes-Barre. The CD release was followed by a US tour with New Found Glory.[6] The Kingston EP has also been re-released on Six Feet Under Records with Dave Sausage in order to revamp the EP. During these years, Title Fight altered their sounds to a more Melodic hardcore genre, with influences including Knapsack, Jawbreaker, Brand New, and The Promise Ring.

In 2010, Title Fight was featured on Triple B Record's compilation, America's Hardcore, with a new song entitled "Dreamcatchers". They also did a US tour with Bayside, Senses Fail and Balance and Composure and a tour of Japan with H2O.
