Punk folksters from NJ Titus Andronicus‘ 2nd album, entitled "The Monitor", will be released on Beggars’ XL Recordings on March 9. The album is going to bear a Civil War theme and features guest players from members of The Hold Steady, Wye Oak, Vivian Girls and Ponytail. Mark your calendar for their CD release party at The Bowery Ballroom on March 6, which promises to be explosive – in a Civil War kinda way!
