Titan Blood - Too Much Talk 7”

Five song debut here from Houston’s Titan Blood, squeezing them in on this quick 7-inch at 45rpm’s. Although quite brief, the band manages to get across plenty of attitude and certainly aren’t watering it down for anyone either by declaring that “everyone here is fucking annoying” or simply with song titles like “Too Much Talk” or “Can’t Stand You”. Quite simply, I don’t think these guys are looking to be social butterflies. However, that approach spawns some pretty solid garage-punk that despite its bad vibes carries a very 50’s/60’s rock n’ roll and soulful type of swagger to it, even opting for a piano on a number of the tracks here. The vocals however remain overly snotty that defies that image some and instead reminds more so of early UK punk. The combo works though and really shines on a track like “I’m a Goon” that vaguely reminds some of The Stooges. Definitely like what this caustic bunch is doing.
