"Unholy saviors of Nashville rock n' roll"? For real? I've see the Tits, and they play real good and stuff, but that seems like a little much.
They play "real good and stuff?" Thanks for that articulate criticism, Ryan. I'm sorry that your band is unsuccessful. The Tits are an awesome fucking band.
Whoa there, buddy. I did not criticize the band at all. I can see why you would say they're an awesome fucking band. I just don't think they're the Jesus Christ incarnate of Nashville rock n' roll, that's all. So, you know, go fuck yourself.
I think all of these bands are pretty damn mediocre. I wouldn't exactly consider a band successful because they are SOMEWHAT popular in a small town. Maybe if someone outside the city heard of them, they would be "popular". It seems like all these bands are friends and jock each other. Just opinion, no need to tell me to fuck myself!

Jesus Christ! The Tits are exactly what's wrong with Nashville. That's what passes for a wild rock band here? I bet those guys listen to Jet! Naming themselves the Tits and singing songs about their dicks can't hide the fact that their sad riffs are boring as hell. Time to throw that MC5 record away and start listening to some Stooges. The only band worse than The Tits in Nashville is the Outlaw Lovers.
"Time to throw that MC5 record away and start listening to some Stooges."
Gimme a break dude. What a retarded comment. That's like saying lay off Guns N Roses and listen to Motley Crue instead. You jackass.
The MC5 put me to sleep. That shit was just hippie rock sped up a little and copping a few Jimmy Hendrix licks. There's a reason everybody only remembers one of their songs, and even then they only remember the intro.
The Tits aren't for everyone. Some people (Aplombtom, perhaps) would much prefer to listen to their Andrew Bird records and wonder when (if?) they were ever gonna lose their virginity. It's okay to be a giant pussy. God makes all kinds of sad, pathetic losers. You gotta realize that musicians come from all over to play in Nashville, and those who fail need an outlet to express their woe. So bash away you idiots, this kind of polarizing response just means we're doing something right.
XOXOXOXO

You named your band the Tits, loser. Make sure you keep holding that PBR up so everybody remembers you drink beer. And yeah, you're bound to have fans when you do something completely unoriginal. Honestly, I wish you guys the best. I can't wait until you guys make it big, so I don't have to sit through your set at the Springwater or the End anymore while I'm waiting for a decent band to play.
Who's the loser? The guy whose band just got a great review, or the guy using a anonymous name to talk shit on a blog? Hmmm... Honestly, I wish YOU well, sir. You'll lose that virginity someday! And seriously, no hard feelings. I was just having a bit of fun with you. You're entitled to your opinion.
P.S. We despise Jet, and drink beer for fun, not to prove anything to anyone. Come talk to me at a show, I'll buy you a beer.
christian rock shut the hell up. quit acting f*ckin cocky. you write stupid ass songs and you guys arent as good as you fuckin think. the guitar is a 5 on a scale on 1 to 10. Your lyrics are a joke. I normally WOULD NEVER calll a band out like this but your arrogance is hilarious. You got a review in a local magazine. WooHoo. You guys are party rock bs. Are you still gonna be singing songs about your f*ckin cocks and beer when your 26..?? If so...sail on rockstar.. and keep living in a local fantasy and struggling tours...but seriously the viriginty comments to a kid who just doesn't like your music?What do you expect man? You guys are decent. Get off the high horse.
On the positive, Another question, were wes and the illegals any good?
no the hate doesnt mean your doing something right. it just means people think your band isnt good or is pissed they have to read about it. just because people hate your band doesnt mean your doing something good. if a lot of people hate it, it probably sucks. be real, everyone likes there own band, but this is the nashvillecreme man not rolling stone. piss off with the attitude faggot. buy me a beer and ill break your nose with it. piss off, you guys are a high school band trying to write classic rock songs. oh wait....your not in high school....
a*sholes.
Oh, yes, the Tits...i think their biggest problem is that they are young and think they are breaking new ground by imitating the genre's founding fathers. I've noticed
many younger musicians/particular cream writers become obsessed with a style and think it rules over everything else...to put it another way, anything that's not 'balls out' garage rock or whatever sucks...this is a folly of youth, as is the silly bravado christian rock is spouting. face it, the Tits, you'll never be iggy, the mc5, the dead boys, any nuggests era band, pere ubu, the ramones, television (did i leave anyone out that's mentioned in PLEASE KILL ME, the seeming bible to these folks).
Give them ten years and they may have a clue...
Of all you guys that think we suck, who do you think the good bands in nashville are? I hear so many people talking about how much everyone listed in the Cream sucks but I rarely hear anyone excited about the bands getting press. I just wonder if most readers only feel compelled to post something when they hate a band or if they just hate the whole local rock scene. I know I've been cynical being in bands that don't get mentioned in local papers and whatnot, So I can sympathize with that, but being uber-negative doesn't do anything but hurt the already struggling local scene. You don't have to like us but does anyone have anything good to say? It's like making a Wal-Mart worker work without pay because you don't think they're a good enough employee to get promoted to owning the whole franchise. Thoughts?
The 'scene' is not struggling. Your band is ok, but calling you the 'saviors' of rock and roll kind of betrays the Spin's credibility. Everybody's awesome here so nothing needs saving.
No offense boys, you're not breaking any new ground, but if I got drunk I'd probably thrash around and have a good time at your show. I really don't get that meemaw shit though. (Nobody gets my shit either, who cares!) Just get drunk and play and have fun and don't take yourselves or the haters seriously.
I agree with burrito. People take this shit way too seriously. I doubt the Tits really even take themselves that seriously.... If you take this genre of rock seriously then you're kind of missing the point, because you're thinking about it too much.
Hearn,
Isn't the idea of punk not to give a shit about what people think. Just do what you do.
There is no hope for this city's "rock 'n' roll" scence. No matter who the newly dubbed savior is.
The Tits are a good band. I don't think their aim is to be ground-breaking. I think they really enjoy pissing off uptight musical snobs who forget that rock n roll is more about three chords and attitude than being "saviors" of anything. Keep on rocking, Titties. Some of us get it.
Hey "Tits are Cocky", why would anyone take you seriously if you can't distinguish the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE? I've never heard of The Tits, but judging from your illiterate comment, I have to assume anything you say is stupid drivel coming from a complete moron.
Hahahaha, The Tits make a living pissing people off. You guys are playing right into their hands. They're a fun band. I don't think theyre trying to be the Beatles.
Wow, "Tits are Cocky..." That guy managed to fit multiple spelling errors, homophobia, and indiscriminate violence all into a single comment. Aren't all you haters glad to be on the side of such a master orator? These comments are cracking me up. I got in on the action as a joke. Do you REALLY think I'm questioning whether some guy has lost his virginity? Do you not see that I'm just baiting people for a laugh? ANYWAY, we don't think we're the "saviors" of anything. We just make the kind of music we like. If you don't like it, that's fine. But your mom does. All night long...
I think annoying bitter hipsters is hilarious, my anonymous friend. Think of it more as performance art, a la Andy Kaufman. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. I just think making jokes about lonely virgin bloggers is funny. If you don't think it's funny, more power to you. I realize my sense of humor is a bit juvenile.
Peace and Love,
Christian Rock
hearn-
you seem respectable. and as far as what bands from nashville i think are good? The Protomen, the trees, and turbo fruits, cactus's, the raconteurs.
i understand what you mean. Sorry to be extremely rude, i just can't interpret conversations via blogs. I just personally think your band should lay off the high and mighty shit and quit talkin shit to people. Seriously, some people don't think its funny and only makes them hate your band more, and spread how much they hate your band. I guess it is your bands sense of humor, but i assume you are all over the age of 16, so maybe reason rather than say "oh fuck your mom man we rule! pabst!" Pissing people off may get you attention, but it isn't positive, regardless of what you or the kid whos parents got his band signed says.
christian- you are the definition of a fuckin annoying hipster. look at every aspect of your band and personality. lonely virgin bloggers also? im looking at your page right now and highly doubt youve fucked a girl that didn't need a bag put over her head. through all the rude shit, keep havin fun playing your music man. just dont be such a fuckin cunt.
im done with this. talking shit over the internet is gay. im a hippocrite, just had to say it. im going to eat dinner and wake up for work.
You guys should just call your band name Tits Kappa Alpha since you love virgin and mom jokes. Or are you baiting me again like Andy Kaufman would since you're so removed from this? (7 responses on this post alone about your own band?!)
And btw, how can you criticize someone for being a hipster when you're wearing a brand new Motley Crue shirt in those pics?
EVERYONE TAKES IT TO SERIOUSLY! THE TITS OBVIOUSLY ARENT A SERIOUS BAND THEY WANNA HAVE FUN! COME ON!
OMG, this shit is GREAT! Have any of these people even SEEN The Tits play? They named themselves The Tits and sing songs about their dicks being bigger than jesus. Of course they're juvenile! Isn't that the point? I personally think it's hilarious. And that "Tits are cocky" guy said "hippocrite!" That made my day. Is that a hippo who doesn't practice what he preaches? Hahahaaha, what a fuckin idiot
I guess since I'm the one Tit who hasn't jumped in this mess, I'll add my 2 cents.
1. Don't like us? Cool. I don't care.
2. Don't get the jokes? Cool. I don't care.
3. Don't like my old beat up Crue shirt? Cool. I don't care.
4. Don't like this thread? Good. Neither do I...
I agree with HAHAHA. He thinks "your mom" jokes are lowbrow, but then feels it's appropriate to say Christian hasn't banged a girl who didn't need to put a bag over her head? What a fucking moron. I've seen The Tits, and I thought all three of them were pretty sexy, maybe that's why there's so much animosity. The Tits rule!
the tits are good. i don't understand why there's so much hating going on. envy i guess. and how come no one mentioned memaw? there good too
MEEMAW,not memaw. And they are not good at all. They're fucking great. Best record of last year.
As for the Tits, never seen them, but good for them for getting everyone so worked up. It's better than boring.
Ok seriously, one more comment and then I'm calling it a night. When i said talking shit over the internet is gay I meant like, I go to gay bars. And if anyone has every been to one they'd know what real music is. I was listening to a pop country remix of Ricky Martin's Livin' Da Vida Loca when I realized how glad i was I didn't waste the $5 I'd planned to spend on getting into The End or Springwater so I could buy my new friend a mixed drink.
The Tits aren't joking, they're a fucking joke.
I'm done with this shit. Good night.
i've seen the tits a few times. ive even seen them when they were the titts way back when. and there's one thing i can say about them:
"flapjacks".
not that that has anything to do with them, just felt like typing the word "flapjacks".
Dear Christian Rock,
I love how people try and destroy on a blog. However we know each other and all of you are some of the coolest guys I have ever met. You guys are just normal people trying to write music you love. It's sad to see there are so many close minded people in the world that fail to recognize that you are only doing what you love. If others don't like it they should just shut up and listen to something else. Like you said if people are talking negatively about your band that means they are obviously upset that something good is coming of The Tits. Besides, I have created quite a stir of your name in Chicago. People here love it. so fuck the ignorant crowd (Titts Haters) and keep doing what you do. I'll see you on the top.
Your friend from so ill,
Ted
I was very suprised and proud to see such a large amount of responses to this post so quickly! congrats! How is it not obvious to that hater that it is the fact that people are talking in the first place so much about the tits that is great, regardless of what it is they say(though, there are plenty of damn fine things to be said). I love watching the tits because it seems clear to me that they are only doing the one truly beloved, dirty, drunken smelly rock and roll thing that they want to be doing. i want them to do it, also. I would watch the tits right now if i could.
nashville bands that I like rolled quickly from my head: fuckshow, the tits, the hollywood ten, protomen, six gun lullaby, raconteurs(duh.), mattoid, the janissary, maurice voltaire, darla farmer & vermicious k'nids (sorry if that makes me a tool, but i said it, and i meant it.)
Hearn: you are the man. come to our party on saturday(everyone else, too.) Please? email me if details are what you need.
To Tha Haters: Fuck You! you write some tasty ass shit and have some large publication write flattering shit about you and then talk some shit, bitch!. i'm out.
you just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, mother fucker!
Wow, what drama for a local band to stir up.
I could go for some new songs from the Tits. I have seen the same set 13 times in a row now.
As for you other blogsters on the scene; watch out! Your HotPocket is about to burn in the microwave!!!!

My favorite Nashville band was the Glib...too bad they're not a part of the struggling scene anymore.
The Tits are undoubtedly one of my favorite bands in town. This is coming from a guy whose other favorites range from Kindercastle to Jensen Sportag, so maybe The Tits are, in fact, pretty gay…
Speaking of gay and offensive, The Tits will be playing Mercy next Thursday along with the gayest, most charmingly offensive act most of us wish still lived here: Spring Hill Spider Party. Jacob Jones & Red White Blue are on the bill, too.
Also, it's cool to have an anonymous handle until the ad hominem insults start to fly. At that point, if you maintain anonymity, your comments loose their impact because it implies that the anonymous source lacks the confidence in their opinions to back them up personally. So when you talk shit, please grow a sack and put an email, name, and URL on your post.
For anyone who would like to break any of The Tits noses....I'll fucking murder your face. As for The Tits.....you guys keep being the essence of fun. Maybe if you guys dress up like Kings of Leon....they'll like you. Seems thats what everyone else is goin for....besides of coarse you and a few others. You guys know who you are and what you stand for....screw others who miss the boat.
