In the last few years, Title Fight's stock has risen astronomically as a band. To some, the Pennsylvania quartet's meteoric shot to the top seems like an overnight success story, as the band virtually went from unsigned unknowns to possibly the biggest current band in the melodic hardcore community. However, to those who closely follow the comings and goings of the hardcore scene, Title Fight are no laymen. Cutting their teeth in the Wilkes-Barre scene since 2003, the members of the band are active in so many aspects of hardcore. They were co-owners of the Redwood Art Space, an all-ages local venue which existed to give exposure to local & touring bands. They've also been active in other projects such as Disengage & Bad Seed. For a group of young men barely old enough to drink, the guys in Title Fight have accomplished so much in a relatively short period of time. Also, they're a very kind and polite group of human beings. Title Fight deserve every bit of the success that they are currently receiving. Included here are the group's 3 demos from 2003, 2004 & 2005 along with the phenomenal 2006 EP "Light Up The Eyes." The early demos are more of a curiosity than anything else (although "All In All" wins points for a vintage Simpsons sample), and they really didn't come into their own sonically until the EP. However, for fans of Title Fight, these demos are a charming sketch of the band we know and love making large strides towards maturation. Make sure you request "Light Up The Eyes" the next time you see them live. That song is too good to be lost to the annals of time.
