Titus Andronicus is an indie rock band from Glen Rock, New Jersey formed in 2005.[1] The group takes its name from the Shakespeare play Titus Andronicus.[2] Their debut album, The Airing of Grievances, received an 8.5 rating from Pitchfork Media[3] and has received positive reviews elsewhere.[4][5][6][7] The album's loud, heavily distorted guitars are influenced by the shoegaze genre,[citation needed] while the lyrics and song titles are references to various books and other forms of entertainment (such as the album title, from the Seinfeld episode, "The Strike", about Festivus).
