Titus Andronicus Air Their Grievances

The Airing of Grievances is the debut album from New Jersey's Titus Andronicus, who named themselves after the Shakespearean tragedy.

The album was originally released in May of this year, getting a stellar 8.5 review on Pitchfork. XL will be realising a newly mastered version of the album in early 2009.

What does Titus Andronicus want people to walk away with after experiencing The Airing of Grievances? “Just that we’re humans, like them,” Stickles says. “That we’re every bit as imperfect and flawed and weak as they are. People always used to talk about Led Zeppelin, and how they were, like, gods onstage. I want people to look at us and see humans onstage, reveling in their humanity. We’re just regular guys from New Jersey, with the same wants and needs and desires and anxieties and disappointments that everybody else has.”
