We Say...
In a rock world clogged with whiners, Patrick Stickles is a blurter. The Titus Andronicus frontman shreds his vocal chords with enough foolish disregard to strike fear into the heart of any decent laryngologist, and his snotty passion suggests how Conor Oberst might sound if he wasn't always partly angling for you to spend the night with him. Stickles poses callow, often funny questions about God, parents, love and mortality as a grand phalanx of four (or more) guitars chases him through some fairly epic compositions, sprawling enough to allow room for musical digressions like a fancy hammer-on mid-section and a harmonica-wheezing intro that totally rips off Springsteen's "The Promised Land."
Any band that follows "No Future Part One" with "No Future Part Two: The Days After No Future" knows how to play punk nihilism for laughs, but Titus Andronicus aren't just being cute — they're girding themselves for the long slog ahead into adulthood. And fittingly "Titus Andronicus" encapsulates their worst fears. Prior to a singalong chorus of "Your life is over," they list off the creature comforts you're denied once your life ends: no more cigarettes, sex, drunkenness, and — what? "No more indie rock!"? Jeez, these guys aren't kidding around.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
