Beginning October 31st, THE HONORARY TITLE is offering a sneak peak at new material from the New York-based band’s anticipated second album, which is due out on Doghouse/Warner Bros. Records next year. Fans can visit PureVolume or MySpace and stream an MP3 of an early, raw track entitled “Untouched and Intact,” which, though still unmastered, provides a great taste of what’s to come.

THE HONORARY TITLE has nearly finished recording its new album at Bomb Shelter in Los Angeles with producer Rob Schnapf (ELLIOT SMITH, BECK, FOO FIGHTERS). In the meantime, fans can catch the band’s return to New York City where they will showcase new songs at this year’s CMJ Music Marathon, appearing at the Doghouse Records’ showcase with ARMY OF ME and MEG AND DIA at the Annex on November 4.

-I’m not aware if Doghouse has some sort of connection to Warner Bros or if the major simply bought out the band’s remaining contract, but I find it interesting that this band has made it to the majors and am excited to see what comes next for them.
