Music Review: “Anymore…” from Bryan Titus by Jawshack - "Like where teeth live." – JT
The greatly anticipated debut album from singer/songwriter Bryan Titus has finally arrived. It is a labor of love and the result of many years hard work… and brother, it shows. The album opens up with the deliciously mischievous A Little More, letting us know to expect the unexpected. Already we get a sense of the enormous personality of Bryan’s vocals, not to mention that great sense of fun so obvious to those who have seen him perform. Then we ramp it up for the stirring song from whence the album gets its name, only to slow it down with the anthem-level You Got Life. The song order manages to showcase Bryan’s diversity without being jarring, and as each song progresses we are lulled into the sense that anything goes, and that’s okay. “Anymore…” is dedicated to the memory of Bryan’s father, so it’s appropriate that it ends with a chilling cover of the Alice in Chains classic Man in the Box. More than any other track, this one really displays the emotive quality of Bryan’s singing, as well as certifying his strong rock roots. It also further cements his ability to pull together a variety of genres into a cohesive record… Or show, or house party, or secluded field, or whatever. Seriously, the guy plays everywhere. There is probably some little green guy wearing a Titus shirt on Mars. He’s certainly been playing up a storm around L.A. for years, relying on word-of-mouth and fierce online support to gather his ever-growing crowds of adoring fans at locally cherished venues like the Mint, House of Blues, and Harvell’s. I’m happy to report that his studio of choice somehow managed to translate his charisma to track, thus providing you and I with an authentic listening experience so often lacking in contemporary popular music. In addition to his outstanding vocals are the lilting slides/balls-out riffs of the versatile John Weed, and the masterful rhythms of drummer Jeremy Miller. Both of these musicians truly understand Bryan’s music, and it makes each track both cohesive and interesting. Just listen to relevantly titled A War Inside to see what I mean; as John’s guitar sidles alongside Jeremy’s marching snare (think Paul Simon), the tune grows all the more meaningful by the reinforcing of its theme. Then listen to SMC student favorite Numb to get an idea of their impressive range, a skill that grows increasingly important in the 15-second window of the modern world. Throw into the mix Will Weissman’s brilliantly understated bass lines to keep it all moving forward, then add a bit of fantastic production and lush vocal harmonies, and you’ve got a fully dynamic sound that manages modernity without forgetting its roots. While I could harp on for a while about the incredible performers and engineers involved on “Anything…”, put together on a shoestring budget with a lot of old-fashioned elbow grease, the overall vibe is one that places excellent songwriting absolutely front and center. It is impossible to overstate just how much the world needs more music like this. I give this album 5 indie stars out of 5.

Bryan Titus Aug 20th CD release party at The Mint by Will Engel LA Music Examiner
Bryan Titus will be performing his CD release release party tonight Friday, Aug 20th at The Mint. The Mother Truckers are playing from 9-10:30 and then Titus performs with his group from 11 until... the train just keeps rolling. Titus, can be seen all over town constantly performing in a variety of venues and he is the musician whom everyone roots for because of his talent, work ethic and fun-loving stage persona. For example, a fellow songwriter said to this writer recently out of the blue “Bryan Titus- there is a guy who deserves all great things!” A genuinely appreciative person, the ubiquitous Titus’s enthusiasm is contagious in conversations, such as when he exclaims “I CAN NOT BELIEVE that we have our CD release party TOMORROW ... it feels like I've waited all my life for this!” The album cover looks fantastic, the cool accessory gear has been chosen democratically by friends and fans and as for the music, a demo of a track “Got Life” that will be on the album proves well-crafted, fun, and catchy. Titus is in “mint” condition here, delivering the kind of song where first you enjoy a focus on the chorus but each time you hear it, you hear more that you also enjoy. Style and substance. Like the musician himself, the song is a true rarity. Passionate, familiar and distinct at the same time, the music is an awesome and unique combo to pull off and Titus does! Strong bluesy vocals, a unique range of influences, and the arrangements hold a surprise twang that works well with the melody, the well-crafted lyrics and vocals. The equation as a whole catches the ear. The distinctive combo of easily enjoyable accessibility with a true depth of feeling, thought, and truth reminds one of the Cromwell, Connecticut native himself who grew up minutes from Wesleyan where Tierney Sutton, Flo Anito- (the subject of upcoming article), and MGMT members attended, where avant-garde jazz legend Anthony Braxton teaches. There is something in the Connecticut water, the river of dreams, that combines with with the city of angels to form, at the very least, a great evening at the Mint for some good times on a CD release party this Friday night!
