Indie rock group Titus Andronicus will be coming to Toad’s Place next Sunday, April 11 in promotion of their new politically charged album, The Monitor, with support from the indie pop group the Babies.

Titus Andronicus have a very in-your-face indie rock sound that can be more aggressive than other bands in the genre performing today. While the lead singer’s screams are full of anger, he’s also heartfelt in his approach, with many parts of the bands’ songs slowing down for quieter moments.

The Babies are a combination of members from indie pop band the Vivian Girls, and indie folk band Woods. The band has a noisier indie pop sound, taking instances of the Vivian Girls and a road that leads more toward garage rock.

My Heart of Joy, based out of Kensington, Conn. will be the show’s opener; this comes after the band had to cancel a show at the URI coffee house that was scheduled on the same night.

The band takes a very alternative rock/emo approach to their music, with the lead singer screaming often in the same sense that the singer from Andronicus does, which should be a good match-up for those who are fans of Andronicus.

Tickets cost $10 before and on the day of the show, with the doors opening at 7 p.m. and the show predicted to start at 8 p.m.
