Glen Rock, New Jersey is a small, safe suburban enclave to the west of New York City, supporting almost three square miles and a population of just under 12,000 people. “It’s the kind of town that lots of people claim doesn’t exist anymore – like that movie Pleasantville, postcard-like streets, an actual “Main Street”, lots of support for high school football,” recounts 23-year-old Patrick Stickles, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band Titus Andronicus. “It’s a very nice place to grow up.” He was joined by his old Glen Rock friends Ian Graetzer on bass and Andrew Cedermark on guitar, and they became part of a local scene that comprised about 16 bands. This scene provided the backdrop for the formation of Titus Andronicus. The band is now a five-piece, and includes Ian O’Neil on guitar and Eric Harm on drums. Whatever lessons there are to be learned in the suburbs, Stickles has gleaned. He brings to Titus Andronicus one of the most distinctive voices that we have heard in some time.
