The Airing of Grievances is the first studio album by American punk rock band Titus Andronicus, released on the Troubleman Unlimited record label on April 14, 2008. The album combines elements of punk rock, shoegaze, and lo-fi music. It was reissued on January 20, 2009 on XL Recordings.
The album title is a reference to the Seinfeld episode "The Strike", where the "Airing of Grievances" is a practice observed during the fictional holiday of "Festivus".[12]
