Shed Your Skin | The Story of Title Fight

[@placeholderband19]

Also gotta say, no mention of crescent shaped depression or where am I. Two of my favorite title fight songs, and probably the best moments of shed

[@placeholderband19]

And like a ritual. All my favorites are getting skipped. Still a great video though

Nailed it bro. Where am I and crescent shaped depression are so fucking good.

[@MTG1207]

Thanks for putting me onto other songs

[@stevenglincosky2393]

Best two songs on the album along with safe in your skin

[@yungdnny]

"safe in your skin" and "where am i" transition so well into each other, "head in the ceiling fan" is one of my favorite guitar parts, and "murder your memory" is so haunting. Wish I could've found out about them sooner.

[@Yearvashine]

Yeah on the cd they transition perfectly so sometimes you sing “where am I” immediately after it

[@dylanharper354]

The grip that these 4 guys from Kingston have on me is insane. I’m literally obsessed with anything about them. This video was really well done!

[@youthofyesterdayrecords]

Shed, Floral Green and Hyperview are the holy trinity of emo progression.

[@samlibutti]

If say last thing to shed to floral green is their prime. Each progression is natural and never too much that it’s distracting or jarring and it eases you into it from where their last album left off.

[@foog9135]

Title fight isnt emo lmao

[@UltraVegito-1995]

They are a Soft Grunge band idk if that genre really exist

Head on the ceiling fan is 100% emo but they’re discography spans a couple genres hence emo progression

Title fight has been my favorite band since 2014. I'll never forget stumbling across floral green and being fuckin blown away. I saw the thumbnail while listening to citizens "youth" album. They instantly became part of my daily life and that hasn't stopped since. I love title fight.

[@BigSleep3750]

I saw glitterer with citizen and I was blown away, that led me to find title fight, and now I’m listening almost every day.

Hyperview Is just a 10/10 album.

[@ghoulcorpse]

real

[@samlibutti]

I’m surprised it has gotten such a positive view amongst their discography. I remember at the time a lot of us viewed it as a bit of a disappointment and leaning maybe too hard into the shoe gaze side of things whereas they had a perfect balance on Head In The Ceiling fan and Floral Green.

The first thing I heard from them was the last thing you forget, I listened front to back on my bus ride, then on the way home i did it again. For the past 4 months I literally couldn't stop listening to them, I'm falling in love with this band.

[@crazycatman5928]

Just found this band. I really like the song “head in the ceiling fan”.

[@qpiq9274]

[@rockyrabbit1987]

This band is awesome, I wish they would come back. I love their sound.

[@coldmountainsaga]

Used to trawl iTunes for new stuff back in the day, and saw a few of their songs and was mildly interested. But then I went to see Touché Amore and Converge play at Chaos in Tejas at Mohawk’s in Austin, I think would have been 2011. They had just released she’d and were touring it. Fell absolutely in love with their music and they were almost instantly my favorite band. Was blessed enough to get to see them several times in Dallas, and I have a signed lithograph insert from the Floral Green record. Went to float the river earlier this summer and let my drunk friend borrow my 10+year old floral green t shirt ( the one with the boys on the front) and my friend promptly lost it to the river 😭. I’m a mega fan and they will always mean so, so much to me.

[@Cooldudehero123]

for anyone that doesnt know, Bad Seed was a hardcore band with Shane on vocals and Jamie, Figure any title fight fans would enjoy them! They only lasted for like 2 or 3 years i think
