I’ve never been to Kingston, Pennsylvania but I have been to Scranton. It seemed nice, and appropriate for The Office to be based there. A sleepy town in America’s heartland surrounded by rolling green hills and full of the charm one would expect. Maybe there’s just nothing to do in PA besides play in punk bands, but that sounds much better than working in a paper supply office. As for Kingston though, some of it’s notable accomplishments including sending one (1) resident to major league baseball…in 1905…and his name was Steamer.

My point here is that the second best thing to come out of Kingston PA is Title Fight. If your bread and butter involves spinning Lifetime/Kid Dynamite or ancient Saves The Day records then this 7 incher fits perfectly amongst its seasoned brethren.

Title Fight unleash just 7 and-a-half minutes of music on the appropriately titled Kingston EP, but they do not disappoint. The songs are tight, quick, to the point and their influences are made clear. They play what they know and love, there are no pretentious tracks here, and it’s straight up blood and sweat. The same kind of ideals their neighbours in Pittsburgh are accustomed to.

They are young bastards too, so my money would be on them returning with a full-length that not only takes a walk down memory lane, but also serves up some fresh ideas in the punk-rock game these days are lacking.
