TITLE FIGHT'S Ned Russin Talks 5 Years of HYPERVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 гру 2020
- On February 3rd, 2015, Kingston, PA four-piece TITLE FIGHT released their 3rd LP, "HYPERVIEW." The record saw a departure from the band's previous post-hardcore offerings by incorporating more elements of shoegaze, slowcore, and ambient music. A divisive record among fans upon its release, HYPERVIEW has since grown a cult following, with many arguing that it is TITLE FIGHT'S best work to date.
I caught up with bassist/vocalist Ned Russin to see how he feels about the record all these years later.

When you're still young, life doesn't seem urgent, but it is. I hope these guys realize what they had/have. A once in an lifetime sound and chemistry is something you should cherish. You'll never have it again and you'll only know once it is already too late...
too fucking true
Bro what
hearing him talking about TF in any way gives me hope that they will come back one day .
Spoke to Ned before a Glitterer show and asked the exact same question - unfortunately he responded that its unlikely :-(
@@joostvdm9 :(
have hope everyone in the bands just busy w life
@@joeydubois :)
at this point just tell us that its over, otherwise people will never stop asking, its like love you dont get the answer youll get the thirst of it
these guys are almost like a cult band. i hope they make it back
Yes!
yeah their really great!!
I think we're past the "almost" lol
the way new concert goers are and how tiktok people are i hope not it’s going to be so annoying getting tickets and going to a show during this time
@@user-sg3ph2jz9u dont worry, give these kids a couple years (or even months) and they'll move on to something else and forget all about our boys, but we'll still be here waiting patiently as always
HYPERVIEW for me is a record that I can hear all day. My girlfriend (now my wife) gave me that record for my birthday and that year we saw them in Mexico. Best experience ever!
Viejo, no sabes cuánto te envidio
ptm si vi que title fight vino a mexico una vez en le corona capital
Was listening to this every night for months then went on a date to a record store and got this girl to buy me hyperview on vinyl we broke up but atleast I got my hyperview that can’t break up with me lmao
W
You know how mad ppl wouldve been if Title Fight was having a comeback tour and it got cancelled bc of covid? Ooooooof. Id cry
Hyperview was a very polarizing record. Lots of people hated it because it was so different but I loved it and was so glad they experimented this much. Also, notice how a ton of bands of that era started incorporating more shoegaze and alt rock influences after Hyperview dropped? Incredibly influential band that changed the scene forever.
This record holds such a sad place in my heart. I was in university at the time of its release. I would listen to this while walking to the bus after my evening class in the cold fall night, thinking about how many friends I'd lost touch with.
Same.. this came out my freshman year of college. What a fucking trip that was
Had to go check the dates but same here, was trying to remember why I don’t listen to it anymore because I love it but it’s probably some of this reason, because of the season of our lives it was released in lol
Title Fought
😔
PAIN
:(
that hit hard
@@TylerHodelin your pain is mine now
i often wonder how much music do they have in the vault
I recall reading an interview that one of the members did preceding the release of Hyperview, I wanna say Ned but I don’t really remember, where he’d said that they’d essentially recorded two albums worth of material. As he put it, they could have released “one album or another,” so there’s potentially a whole unreleased record. Unless he was exaggerating, which is possible.
This was awesome. When Hyperview came out, I wasn't interested in slow, ambient sounds and I stayed away from it for a few years. Now, it's become one of my favorites as I've grown to appreciate the art and meaning of it. Glad you got to share this.
Same
definitely an album that grew on me over the years too
SAME
I was the exact same way. It’s not that I didn’t like it in 2015 but I wasnt ready musically yet, I was still into a lot of punk and hardcore at the time. I came back to it sometime in 2016 and realized how ahead of everyone they were sonically. It’s been in heavy rotation ever since
@@phibes41 yeah that was me. I didnt dislike it, I thought it was good music, I just wasn't into how slow it was and preferred the faster stuff. Then I slowed down and Hyperview was still there for me 😂
Dude thx for this Interview, i hope some day they will come back. Title Fight till i die...
First and foremost everyone should support Ned and Glitterer, it’s a great project and a new record coming out early 2021! With that being said what’s everyone thinking, will Title Fight ever come back?
I miss title fight so much. I’ve seen them live multiple times and I’ve listened to their music way more than anything else over the past 15 years or so. I hope one day they come back or maybe do a tour or few more shows
Hyperview is a desert-island record for me. It was actually my introduction to Title Fight. Hopefully they put something just as good out in the near future. Thanks for posting this. Very well done. 👍👍
Knew this album was special the moment I heard it.
Underrated as hell.
Title Fight was an incredibly important band for me growing up. I can hardly believe its been 5 years since hyperview came out. I managed to catch them playing here in Australia more than once, I'm forever grateful that they went through the process of organizing all ages, and under 18's shows, as the memories I made a their gigs are some of the best I have. I hope I'll see them again one day.
Will Yip handled the business with this record; another masterpiece to add to his vast collection.
him and George lever are probably tied for my favourite producers
I instantly love hyperview. Used to listen to it when I went on roadtrips to Mexico
Thank you for this interview! I'm regularly falling into heavy TF phases since like 8 years lol, and I realise that it's just one of my all time fav bands. And to learn more about the writing process of this album was awesome. Hyperview had a strong impact on my perception of music when it came out. I love how humble and passionate Ned sounds.
I still hope for some new or unreleased TF songs in the future but if there's no plans for that, that would be fine cause they already did their best when they had the time to do so and it's unnecessary to force themselves writing songs, and they are doing the same with different experiences / projects now. Stoked to hear the next GLITTERER record for example, and I can't believe why HAZE (one of Jamie's side-projects) went SO MUCH under the radar...
Love them forever.
So well said yo, TITLE FIGHT FOREVER not only in TF’s music or new music but in the member’s hearts and our hearts and souls, which will carry to anything else they decide to create 🤘🏻
Very well said!! Hey, how can I find some Haze material, have they released an album? Please share some more info bro, thanks!
I miss my golden days with their records, hope everyone still have a blast while listening to their records :)
Best post hardcore punk emo band of our time
Facts
the awesome thing is that they are the best punk band of our time including all the genres in the middle! thats it, whatever road they took leaded to something awesome in all the subgenres of punk.
@@MarinasFound i wanted to say that...but i got scared to lol
@@MarinasFound ty segall...vivian girls...wavves...best coast (in 2010)...these are perhaps better described as indie rather than punk...so idk
@@startervisions oh yeah thats another vibe.
When Hyperview first came out my friends were hating on it, but i loved it from the first listen. Now its their favourite record haha. I hope its not the last title fight record.
the fact that a lot of my homies were also not fans of hyperview completely BAFFLED me(they like it now though). hyperview was everything to me from the first listen and now it’s still everything and more!!! hyperview was absolutely fucking amazing!!
Ned's so fuckin awesome, I like the way his mind works and the way he thinks, he's interesting.
Awesome style of editing for an interview
Serious! It really fit the vibe too
On the 5th year anniversary, I started listening to it while cleaning, checked my Facebook memories and realized it was the anniversary. I just wanted to hear it again that day.
this whole video made me really emotional. i love and miss this band so fucking much. every time i listen to this band, and this album, a part of me still holds on to hope that they will come together again one day.
one day…
Really cool to hear something like this, thank you for sharing!
Literally favorite album of all time. Love these guys! Somehow will always find my way back listening to title fight.
Thanks for sharing! Ned is such a compelling speaker
This is really great to hear so many years later. Hyperview is my favorite album of all time, and seeing the band go silent afterwards really sucks. At least they gave us this before they left. And this interview gives some closure, so thank you for this.
I was at that Cat's Cradle show in Carrboro that got shown. It was great to relive that experience too.
Also what a wonderful response from Ned thank you for this!
i rmb i was the first to jump off stage for the hyperview tour in dallas. those were good times :(
I love the way you edited this video so awesome!
GOod shit I fucking love Title Fight
this is one of my favorite albums of all time
that opening was god tier. this is such a good video, thank you!/
I completely agree with the sentiment of everyone who needed to hear the album hearing it. TF were by far the most important artists of my adolescence, especially Shed-era music, but Hyperview to this day remains one of my favourite albums to go back to. Really great video.
one of my favorite albums..I love everything by TF..miss the shows
Pressed it’s thorns against my nose !!
as good as hyperview is, i'm so glad i managed to see them during the shed/floral green years. i got hella lucky and they came to the UK a few times right at the time I was completely obsessed with them. still got a setlist from one of the shows too, those gigs will live with me forever
Great interview and visuals! Hyperview has a great vibe, would really love to see where next they'd take their sound if they did another album since I've loved all their stuff. Title Fight is one of my favourite bands of the 2010s, hands down!
Thanks for this vid ! Great
Thank you for this
I believe any day tf is going to back and play in Colombia. For sure this is my fav band and Hiperview means lots for me :(
I hope they come back some day :-(
I miss them so much
THANKS FOR THIS!
My favorite album by them, I had no idea it got so much flack. Was introduced to TF by my now ex, which wasn't until around when Hyperview came out. Google says they're on hiatus and some merch was released late last year, TF means so much to me and are a favorite of mine, I hope they get back together but I get it if not.
I got the chance to meet Ned when I saw Glitterer in Oakland last January right before covid shut everything down. I was stupid drunk singing everything hella loud in a pretty small audience HAHA. After his set I asked him for a picture lol he was cool about it and said yeah. As the picture was being taken I snuck in the question on behalf of everyone that wanted to know and asked “what’s up with Title Fight?” and he gives me the most piercing stare while maintaining a smile and said “We have no plans🙂” lmao I was like “that’s cool bru I fuck with glitterer! Keep doing your thing!” He thanked me for coming out and I was fucking hyped to meet him as I never got the chance to even see TF live. Hyperview as well as everything else they made still gets played heavily in my rotation.
If UA-cam let me upload the picture I would haha cheesin it ear to ear🤣🤣
I met the dude in September of 2019 I think when Glitterer opened for Ceremony in Atlanta. Honestly, the crowd didn't seem that into it, but his face lit up when I told him his set was dope. Whether it's more Glitterer or bringing back Title Fight, I hope the dude keeps going.
@@jameslanier2510 Yee same in Oakland crowd was wack but it was in the back of a bar lol but my brother told me it looks like he was feeding off my energy during the set so that’s cool. Definitely excited for the new record this month!
Yo! I really appreciate this. I don't know if it's just that Ned seems like a pretty intelligent and opinionated dude, or if it's by design (my guess is probably both?), but I love that you're just letting him go off in the in the interview. Definitely going to check out the other interviews.
Love hearing this amazing humans voice
It's time for a new record!
One of my all timers.
Along with Nirvana, Title Fight is how I learned to play guitar. Thank you.
See you soon¿ 😊
I would do things I can’t even dream up to get them to come back
legitimately shocked that hyperview is already 5 years old at this point
6
8 now
this was so inspiring
my fav band always!
i need to see TF live before i die.
This video is worth more to me than gold
I just wanna be able to talk to jamie or ben or ned one day in person
Pretty interesting how this album has become more beloved than when it first came out
I miss them
I cannot die until I see TF live…. Don’t put that on me
When I first listened to Hyperview, I imagined it was how young adults felt when they first heard Meat Is Murder. If anyone has footage of them playing new vision, please share it somewhere.
They’re the best man
♥♥♥
why is this just now hitting my recommendeds lolol
Best band ever.
I feel like he’s smart
I was expecting them to sound like a generic hardcore band but theyre kind of cool
TF are special ❤️
I've been listening to them since I was a youngun in 2011. Even though I've lost touch with that scene as a whole, I still come back to this band from time to time. Despite all of the changes in musical taste, Title Fight still remains one of the most sentimental bands to me. The album hyperview is an extension of that.
I still only like the very first album. But will always back them. Idk why. They just have a very likable persona.
i would travel to see title fight wall:(
I used to hate hyperview because of the slowness of it but not it’s one of my favorite albums of all time
Same. Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands of all time.
@@HiCenjoyer they’ve been my favorite band since about 2018
I hated Shed for the exact opposite reason. Now I love it all
New record on the way!
hopefully!
@@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle they are on the studio with willyip
@@noelrodriguezfernandez581 Awesome always need new title fight in my life

Liar's Love
best record

niceEEEE
thinking bout title fight rn ต( ິᵒ̴̶̷̤ ﻌ ᵒ̴̶̷̤ )ິ ♬
Why were they dropped from side one dummy ?
Porqué se separaron?
What was the song that played in the intro?
omg title fight ♥╣[-_-]╠♥
Wow had no idea side one dummy dropped them from the label. Smh
anyone knows the song name at 3:50?
Thats da first song Hyperview homey. Murder Your Memory
@@CpnStraightEdge thank you!
An attempt at something impossible 🤌🏾
Weird that side one dummy would drop them. Seems like at that point in time TF would have been the biggest band on their roster
If I understand correctly, there was a big disagreement over the general idea of royalties between the label and the band. Not sure if that’s the entire reason though.
There's nothing wrong with Hyperview, in of itself. Just as Ned said, TF was exhausted and worn out when they made it. Just didn't have any gas in the tank and it came through unfortunately.
who tf didnt like hyperview?
Diehard title fight fan here. I know this album is divisive, and it’s grown to be respected by many fans. But it’s hard for me to get into any song to be honest. Sounds like they tried to be slowdive
Just like some actors don't like to be typecast, title fight didn't wanna be genrecast. I like it but it's okay if you don't
@@ryanparker4996 I think it’s a solid record. But it is my least favorite.
I wasn’t a hyperview fan at first. Ignorance
this album was a perfect example of expirimentation gone wrong, a band moving in a direction they just weren't fully equipped to go in, and make it interesting or engaging anyway. Perfect example ;of a band that truly should have stuck to what they were good at. It's funny, when he was taking like "we didn't want to make a record that was more "mature", mature meaning more reverb and slower"...lol that's literally EXACTLY what they did, and EXACTLY h;ow it came off. The record is boring, simple as that. Even the performance here of them playing the songs for the first time as he said, perfect example of exactly what was so wrong with this record, NO energy, NO passion, soooo BORING. It's literally like watching kids who have NO IDEA how to play slow or less loud, so they try to and it just comes off as them doing a terrible imitation of a band that knows how to play slow...i dunno man, just totally fell flat on their faces with this uninspired record. They should come back and write another record utilizing what they are actually good at, because this was a totally shitty note to end on
