"I don’t know where we're heading, but it’s somewhere good, even if it’s only for a season. I just can't get the music out of me, God knows I've tried. It's a tool, it's an expression, I'd better not waste it this time. He's given me a second chance. We're gonna write the best songs we can, we're gonna rock, inspire and win fans, whilst holding our day jobs... This is a Titus rebirth!"
Matt.Ng Titus guitarist.
Many people will be new to Titus, however their loyal fans would have seen them go through many stages over the years.
Pak: "I remember starting out, rocking my bass guitar in a tiny storage room in a church when we were kids...Then a few years later we got signed to a small record label ‘Elevation Records’ and made our 2006 album ‘Point of No Return’ which opened many doors.
We joined our good friends YFriday on some tours and played some very memorable gigs... It was fantastic; we got to see some of the world, played some huge gigs. We learnt a lot then, we had big dreams, but then something happened... We weren’t kids anymore.
We had responsibilities, and all of a sudden I was closer to 30 than 20. It seemed our dreams just went on pause, but now we're back and it's taken some time, but I feel we’re all a lot more mature, we've got a lot more things to say. Things in the Titus camp are fuelled with excitement again, and creativity is at a new high. I think this will all benefit our fans and the music."
A new drummer is on the scene now, Andy Rose, with drumming skills that are best described as being a nuclear fusion of Travis Barker (Blink 182) and Tico Torres (Bon Jovi)…
Andy: "I’m very excited and honoured to be part of the Titus experience, we've got lots of ideas, we've been working hard and demoing a few tracks. I think old fans will love the new sound, and the new tunes will open us to a bigger fan base.”
A New Titus EP is being planned for release for late March 2009, a title is yet to be confirmed but the EP will consist of 3 new Titus Tracks.
