Patrick Stickles has an interesting world view. Well-versed in rock ‘n’ roll, pop culture, literature and history, the leader of New Jersey band Titus Andronicus shouts hyper-intelligent barbs over the group’s roaring brand of E Street punk. Diversions Editor Jordan Lawrence talked with Stickles before Titus’ Sunday gig at Local 506 to get an idea of what makes the divisive songwriter tick.
Diversions: On the new album, The Monitor, you use the phrase, “The enemy is everywhere.”. What do you mean by that?
Patrick Stickles: Let me answer your question with a question. What do you think we mean when we say it?
