These guys are easily the best new band I have heard in years!” – Scott Gorham, Black Star Riders/Thin Lizzy
So the music business has taken a bit of a tumble but there are talented hungry, young bands out there who can build a new foundation. The bold, and Brilliant, Bristol outfit Tax The Heat is one of those bands that soars above the rest. Their song Fed to the Lions is already a true classic rock track and they’ve only just begun! – Joey Tempest, Europe
“Tax The Heat is a great band, as tight as duck’s arse, and much better looking. I hear the new record is great too.” – Danny Bowes, Thunder

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.
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.”
