Hangin' Out In 100b

Their music is a bit darker than you would expect from the four carefree boys in this happy Footloose-esque picture. Talk Taxis’ first single “Liverless” comes out in June, but you can already check it out on their myspace. It’s stressy, energetic, funky almost ska-ish combined with a seemingly agitated singer who’s voice sounds dangerously strained. I like it. The other three songs on theirspace are similarly tense, but all have that shake-your-booty quality. They, like Bloc Party before them, prove once again that angst and dancing indie teens are as compatible as Mario Van Peebles and crappy movies.
