Catchy riffs and rhythmic diction places Title Tracks’ sound somewhere comfortably between indie rock and power pop. Formed in ’08 by ex-Q and Not U’s John Davis, Title Tracks’ pop friendly backbeats are subtly reminiscent of what made Davis’ former outfit so memorable. With the opening lines of songs like “Winner’s Cry,” the persistent thump of drums collides with crisp cymbal and chords, rendering it lush and melodic without being complicated. Much like their lyricism, Title Tracks’ instrumentation is upfront with unfettered charm. Anchored live by a rhythm section consisting of Mike Sneeringer (Purling Hiss, The Loved Ones) on drums and Michael Cotterman (Kid Dynamite) on bass, pop smith gems like “All Tricks” and “No Air” will pair well with the onstage efforts of local favorites Everyone Everywhere. Sincere like a basement show from the late 90s or early 2000’s, consider tonight’s lineup a revamp of all the anthems you cherished in your formative years, but with more craft and legitimate feelings nix any dramatics or exaggerated metaphors.
