Title Fight is coming to Pomona on Jan. 23. (Manny Mares/Contributed Image)
Pennsylvania punkers Title Fight are returning to the area on Wednesday, Jan. 23 with a show opening for Quicksand at the Glass House in Pomona.
The band released its second album, “Floral Green” in fall 2012.
One of the interesting things about the band is that they’ve helped bolster the scene in their hometown of Kingston, Pa. They own and help operate an all-ages venue not unlike the Glass House.
8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, The Glass House, 200 W. Second St., Pomona, $27, all ages.
Visit http://theglasshouse.us for tickets and www.facebook.com/titlefight for more information on the band.
