Titus Andronicus Invites The Entire State Of New Jersey To Premiere Its New Video

On Friday April 29th, Titus Andronicus fans all over New Jersey are invited to premiere the band’s new video for the song “No Future Part III: Escape From No Future”, directed by longtime NJ resident and WFMU radio host Tom Scharpling. All Jersey residents, publications, websites, and institutions public or private are invited to simply email titusandronicusvideo@gmail.com, and the band’s label, XL Recordings, will set you up with whatever tool you need: DVD, QuickTime file, embed code – it’s a cinch to participate!

If you’re unfamiliar with Titus Andronicus, here’s a little background: Filled with triumphant rock anthems, aggressive melodies and above all else, brutal honesty, the band has rightfully earned comparisons to such iconoclasts as Bruce Springsteen, and The Replacements. With a grand total of 57 shows lined up for this Spring and Summer that will see them sharing the stage with the likes of Bright Eyes and Okkervil River, Titus Andronicus have distinguished themselves as one of the hardest working bands today. Their last album, The Monitor was released last Spring and made its way onto many year end-lists. Rolling Stone said: "Lyrically, history and modern anxiety morph into freedom songs for an age where, then as now, "the enemy is everywhere," and neither whiskey nor "a pretty good GPA" will save you. But an album this excellent just might."

Titus is inviting everyone that lives in New Jersey to join in the premiere: whether....you have a video store in New Brunswick, you run a poker blog in Atlantic City, you manage a record shop in Princeton, you have a blog about Seaside Heights, you are a Sparta stoner with a sweet new flatscreen, you are a mechanic in Clifton with a video projector and a white wall or you are the Newark Star-Ledger, it's your God-given right, scratch that your RESPONSIBILITY to participate in the premiere of this video. Everyone in the Garden State is welcome to post/host/display the video on the 29th. Everyone else will just have to wait!

Time for Jersey City, After Dark
