2015 was an intense year for Bristol’s rising stars Tax The Heat. Following the release of two critically acclaimed singles “Fed To The Lions” and “Highway Home” (both of which were playlisted across rock radio – A listed on Planet Rock) the band have cemented their live reputation by supporting the likes of Cadillac 3, Reef, The Graveltones, Black Star Riders, Masters Of Reality, The Virginmarys and Thunder and festival appearances such as 2000 Trees, Download and Calling. The band’s unique blend of classic blues driven rock with a modern alternative twist winning them a legion of fans. The band have now signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment (home to acts such as Blues Pills, Black Star Riders & Crobot). Guitarist/vocalist Alex Veale says: “We love the energy of those ’60s bands. Maximum R&B – that’s the basis for Tax The Heat. But we’re taking it somewhere else, bridging the gap between old and new, creating something that has that raw energy but is also original.” “It was all about capturing that live energy on the record,” says Jack Taylor. “We didn’t want to go fully old-school with it – we used modern technology. But what you hear on the album is the four of us playing together, no overdubs. A lot of live takes.”
“The four taster tracks already recorded with QOTSA producer Chris Goss are exactly what the British scene needs right now: tight, lean, live tracked belters. Supercharged rhythm n’ bluesers are ready for their time in the sun ” – Classic Rock Magazine in 2015
“tight, ferocious, crowd-pleasing, guitar-wielding, solo-humping, belting Blues Rock n Roll band” – Altsounds.com
