A Productive Cough provides Titus Andronicus with another bold manifesto. They might have varied the volume, but they’re still railing with their customary resolve

It would be satisfying to hail A Productive Cough as Titus Andronicus' equivalent of Who's Next - but sadly it's more "What the hell?". Print edition only
