On January 20, 2011, it was announced that Title Fight had signed to independent label SideOneDummy Records, and would be releasing their debut album in the spring. [14] On February 10, Shed was announced for release in May, revealing its track listing. In addition, the band gave away "27" as a free download on their Tumblr profile.
