It’s a rare, happy day for people who can mostly be found crying in high school bathrooms and deciding if this flannel shirt is too similar to their other flannel shirts. Princes of the modern emo revival Title Fight have put a Wednesday, Nov. 4 concert at 89th Street Collective (formerly The Conservatory) in the middle of their victorious run down to Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas.
The Kingston, Pennsylvania product got all dark and shoegazey with its 2015 effort Hyperview after a string of dark and emo punky albums — Floral Green, Shed and The Last Thing You Forget — that helped reign in a new era of emotionally damaged suburban youth car-ride singalongs. Philly kid Alex G accomplishes a similar end with different means, a prodigious and prolific songwriter with stripped-down ’90s college-rock sentimentality. He released the very, very good DSU last year, and reissued two of his earliest albums — Trick and Rules — earlier this year.
Tickets for the show will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, June 19.
