Titus Andronicus

Titus Andronicus is a band that I usually like. Not every song hits home with me. But they are interesting. And they have a rock opera lp that just came out. So kudos to them for over achieving. They made this video as a sort of teaser for the rock opera and I really really like it.

Titus Andronicus’ The Monitor got a good amount of rotation when it came out a few years ago, but “The Battle of Hampton Roads” came up on shuffle today and goddamn if it didn’t strike a chord. Pour yourself a shot of bourbon on the rocks, relax, and take in the entirety of this epic song.

I like this tune with it’s rough Pogue-esque tendencies.  They’ve got an album, a 7″ series, and apparently a rock opera on the table these days.  That’s quite ambitious.
