The Hotelier 8PM

Title Fight 8:50PM

La Dispute 10:10PM

La Dispute is five close friends from the Upper Midwest with a mutual passion for using music as a means to express, challenge, inform, and connect, but also as a fantastic excuse to have fun, make tons of new friends, and travel anywhere and everywhere that people will have them. Always learning, often touring, sometimes writing (as much as time and circumstance allows), La Dispute has been making music for 3-6 years now (depending on how you look at it) and intends on continuing to do so for as long as they’re all physically and emotionally able to. Also of note, they love their friends and families immensely and are probably too proud about where they come from. Come say hello and they mean that. - See more at: http://thehowardtheatre.com/show/2015/03/25/title-fight-la-dispute/#sthash.JTYTO2WX.dpuf

This hell-in-a-handbasket story, though a perfect complement to an unhappy young person’s self-pitying sense that now is a uniquely unhappy time to be young, is fatally flawed because it fails to account for such an artist as Title Fight, a punk/indie band comprising four hardcore kids in their early 20s who hail from the anthracite hills of northeastern Pennsylvania. If playing earnest, energetic music that makes novel, thought-provoking use of diverse influences really were an exercise in futility at this moment in cultural history, Title Fight wouldn’t be flourishing 10 years after forming, they wouldn’t have some of the most loyal fans in all of music, and they wouldn’t have bothered creating a record as deft and affecting as Spring Songs, their new four-song EP, which, when it’s released in November on Revelation Records, will stand as the band’s best release to date.
