The front-page attention was coupled with this review: **"A stone’s throw from New York City in Hoboken, New Jersey is where The Title crafts their keen, rhythmic electro-pop. A phenomenal excitement emits from the speakers as 808 beats meet soaring synth lines and poignant vocals send out melodic signals of hope. Today’s pick of the day, “Meant Said Felt” feels like the Postal Service meeting Daft Punk at the corner of Angst Street and Emotional Avenue. If you listen close, The Title just may tug at your heart strings, but don’t worry— they’ll be gentle!" Myxertones *The blog "The Prince of All Media," noted that "Their sound is reminiscent of Daft Punk, but The Title - which consists of Nick Esposito, Evan Stalter, Mike Donaldson, Austen Howell and Mike Esposito - each bring their own element and flavor to what they do." *The song "Right Now" by The Title has been played numerous times on Sirius Satellite Radio, on their "Hit Bound" program. Other Notes Evan and Nick are both brothers at the Alpha Tau chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity at Stevens Institute of Technology
