This article is about the album. For the type of business, see [Small business](/source/Small_business).

***Local Business*** is the third studio album by American [punk](/source/Punk_rock)/[indie rock](/source/Indie_rock) band [Titus Andronicus](/source/Titus_Andronicus_(band)). It was released on October 22, 2012, via [XL](/source/XL_Recordings).[1][2] The first single, "In a Big City", was posted in the band's blog on September 19, 2012.[3][4]

A more stripped down record than their previous efforts, *Local Business* was recorded live in the studio with almost no overdubs, creating an album that was "plug-in-and-play" ready, helping the band sound as close as possible to the album when playing live.[5]

The album received positive reviews and was listed at #38 on [Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone_(magazine))'s list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying "These Jersey boys might be America's most desperately ambitious, righteously exciting punk-rock flamethrowers."[6]
