Title Fight is a killer melodic-punk band from Kingston, Pennsylvania. Their debut 7” is named for their hometown; a place that sits directly across the Susquehanna River from Wilkes-Barre and only about 2 hours from New Brunswick, NJ. So it isn’t (at least to me) surprising that Title Fight the three songs on the 7” fall squarely into the post-Lifetime vein of melodic punk that we all love so much. You know, fast pop-punk parts mixed with breakdowns? OK, think of the first two Saves The Day records but with a tad more grit. It is a fast and furious blast of guitars, bass, and drums that clocks in at a shade under 7 minutes 30 seconds and begs you to keep flipping the record over and over and over; it’s that good.
Kingston is vibrant and exciting and makes me feel many years younger than I am. Even my wife who was born and raised in Pennsylvania and grew up on East Coast punk from the likes of Lifetime, Weston, Plow United, and The Bouncing Souls, also approves and gives her A-OK to Title Fight. Pick up a copy of the Kingston 7” here. You won’t be disappointed.
