American Taxi

An unreleased American Taxi song.

Outta Nowhere.....It's A Post

So I finally got the American Taxi CD, Runaway Songs. From start to finish, it is excellent, however my personal favorite track is "Paper Covers Rock." Aside from the witty title, it has a great beat and lyrics that anyone who really loves music and going to shows will be able to relate to. This is an excellent EP and I cannot wait for a full length album. If forced to describe how they, I would compare it to a more raw, punk rock version of Lucky Boys Confusion. By that I mean it is Adam's voice combined with LBC's signature slow bridge building up to an incredibly catchy hook (ok, ok, they didn't invent it, but they did it pretty darn good). If you have the chance, listen to them at www.myspace.com/americantaxi and then go pick up their CD at Interpunk (at $6 it's a steal!). Also, expect me to post a video from one of their concerts soon (not something I took, but found it on youtube).

American Taxi on Q101

American Taxi is on q101 right now, here's a little summary.

LBC still playing shows until people stop showing up
They played The Mistake (Burning Hot Girls) and Shake Rattle and Stall on the radio
They said the band got started cause "Miguel" hooked Adam up with a practice space and Jason started showing up, they posted songs on myspace, people liked them, posted more songs and now they have a show on the 25th (they mentioned it was Jason's Birthday)

Coming This Week

This week I am actually going to get this blog started up. I'm promising acoustic Fall Out Boy music, a few links to some more bands I've been listening too and perhaps even some lyrics that I fancy...Check back soon!

The Beginning

Here will be a place that I can aggregate all of the music that I think everyone should listen to... Without further adieu here are some local bands with great music up on their myspace pages....
