The Airing of Grievances is the first studio album by American punk rock band Titus Andronicus, released on the Troubleman Unlimited record label on April 14, 2008. The album combines elements of punk rock, shoegaze, and lo-fi music.[1] It was reissued on January 20, 2009 on XL Recordings.
The album title is a reference to the "Festivus", a holiday invented for the Seinfeld TV series.[citation needed] "Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ" features a reading of a speech given by Aaron the Moor from the Shakespeare play Titus Andronicus. "No Future Part Two: The Days After No Future" ends with a reading from The Stranger by Albert Camus, as translated by Stuart Gilbert.
