Titus Andronicus is a punk/indie rock band from Glen Rock, New Jersey, USA, formed in 2005.[1] The group takes its name from the Shakespeare play Titus Andronicus, and has cited musical and stylistic influences as diverse as Neutral Milk Hotel and Pulp.[2] Their first album, The Airing of Grievances, was released in 2008, and was described as the sound of a "violent, overblown and irreverent" indie band in a positive review in Pitchfork.[3] The band's second album, The Monitor, was released on March 9, 2010, debuting at #7 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart[4]. In March, Rolling Stone named the band one of the seven best new bands of 2010.[5] Titus Andronicus has also been featured on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Venus Zine and Dirty Laundry TV.[6]
