The Taxpayers
Probably the best aspect of The Taxpayers is that's it's damn near impossible to tell what they're going to do next. Where as most bands see the words Folk Punk as a genre, this band from Portland, Oregon, seems to take them as an open-ended, Beck-like license to strip two vast histories of sound down to their barest essentials, and mix them back together into super-catchy, genre-bending anthems about failed revolutions, and lives well wasted, that demand to be shouted out at a drunken live show in your neighbor’s basement.
Also: they have a song called Zombie Lesbian Stripper Cops.
