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

@@dylanharper354 bro same .. I’m 50 and was a big part of NEPA hardcore in the 90s i’m so glad I saw glitter open for quicksand about a year ago that led me to the title fight deep dive. I’ve been on since no musicians inspire me like local ones these guys at one step closer it’s really really mind blowing for somebody like me to see

[@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

[@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-GodKiller-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

i have three tattoos from their albums, i love these guys so much. “bad luck never leaves” “you’re spending too much time, digging graves and sharpening your knives” “your voice, in the back of my head, wishing things could be quiet” “you’re cold, like the blood that runs through your veins” “you’re a match, that can’t be lit. spark the flame, burn infinite” “your chrysalis..nighttime wanderer” there has not been and will not be another title fight. thank you and thanks TF 💛

[@philidor9657]

I have "[I feel scared of knowing I'm] just a single leaf in the wind blowing". Truly a one of a kind, unique, introspective and talented band.

[@moonflare7070]

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.

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.

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

I’m so glad they stuck through with the idea of having in-between in their floral green album, it’s gotta be one of if not my favorite song by them 🙏

[@joed4133]

Best band of all time, found them performing in the UK at reading 2011 and been along for the journey ever since! Feel like I saw a reddit thread once where someone had a vague connection to Jamie, same college or something, and apparently the band have played together in private but are just busy living adult lives - fingers crossed for 2023!!

[@slo8681]

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.

[@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.
