Title Fight is everywhere. I think I need to give it a shot. I listened to a song or two on YouTube and wasn't hooked but there are just too many recommendations.

i always thought title fight was a typical sxe bro/jock hardcore band before i heard their stuff. (this was entirely based on their name)

they're actually not that bad. i can dig 'em.

Tittus,

I feel pretty strongly that the mean jeans had the album of the year. Gaslight, bottlerocket, and souls never disappoint me.

Matt and Kim was more of a "good album I listened to a lot" than a "great album you have to hear". My favorite song was "I said", so maybe you want to YouTube it and judge based on that.

As I'm writing I'm thinking of other albums that could easily bump Matt and Kim. Hot water music could. I think "paid in full" is the most rocking song they've ever put out. The world inferno friendship society record got a lot of plays ("politics of passing out" was probably my favorite individual song from last year). Cute Lepers was really good too (this year, right?).

So hopefully out of all those you get something new.

This is a tough one, and it bums me out that certain records that came out this year were a little more on the disappointing side. So, in no particular order, I present my current top 5.

The Gaslight Anthem- Handwritten

Converge- All We Love

Gasoline Heart- Thanks for Everything

Grimes- Visions

Sun Kil Moon- Among the Leaves

I'll definitely check that out! Thanks for the input.

I'm also really digging the new Swellers ep. My favorite things they've put out yet.
