Title Fight — Light Up The Eyes

This EP is sweet. It's a little rougher, a little more basic than their later releases (see The Last Thing You Forget), but it has the same poppy energy and melodic sensibilities as the rest of their work. I don't really know too much about it, other than that it appears to be their first non-demo release, and it came out in 2006. Its still really sweet, despite all the dudes in the band having been roundabouts of 16 when it came out. So yeah, check it out, it's some of the best pop-punk I've ever heard.

Title Fight are a band from Kingston, PA. It's pop-punk at first glance, but everyone in the band is into hardcore — some of them are actually related to the singer of Cold World — and that influence comes out really strongly. They formed when they were all 13, and it seems to be the dominant thing in their lives, college, relationships, and everything else taking a second place. Lyrically, it's kind of similar to Jawbreaker in style, and the music is pretty distinct from most other things I've ever heard. It's good. Get into it.
