Although Rome continues to have a vibrant and flourishing punk scene, I really can't think of any other semi-current band that's garnered any type of long term impact on the Roman punk scene than TAXI!! Homoplastik and the Temporal Sluts had a couple great records, but they both crapped out before making it to the coveted full length arena. The Grabbies made alot more waves AFTER they broke up, than when they were around. And their heralded impact has only only reached a fringe sector of the noise/garage scene. Transex, the Idol Lips and the Mudlarks are three of the current contenders, and time will tell if they maintain the longevity and creativity that TAXI possess. So TAXI are by and far the longest running and most influential punk band to emerge from the Roman punk scene in the last decade...PERIOD!!

Hard to believe that it's been almost 4 years since their debut LP/CD 'Like A Dog' was released on Dead Beat back in 2003. Their popularity has grown immeasurably, largely due to the insurmountable feedback from the underground punk rock press of 'Like A Dog'. Maximum Rock N Roll, Now Wave, The Odyssey, No Brains, OX, Dotdash.com and countless other fan/web zines lauded 'Like A Dog' as a classic and before it's time. Oh and lest we forget that swank little interview in Horizontal Action #12, that sandwiched them right in between the Ponys and the Real Losers. Yep, their fan base grew immensely after that issue was published!

Well TAXI are back on the new release radar after their 'Who's To Blame' TOUR 7" was released in 2004 to conicide with theEast Cost/Southern US tour. 'Yu Talk Tu Mach' is a 10 song monster that's an impecable follow up to 'Like A Dog'. No curve balls thrown in the track list here. Just 10 more brain pummeling cuts played with ferocity and panache. Much like bands like the Kids, Hubble Bubble, PVC and the Pack, TAXI dust of the corpse of rock n roll and bash out 10 more winners with relative ease. 'Yu Tolk Tu Mach' was recorded on multiple weekends over the course of 2006. The guitar tones in general on 'Yu Tolk Tu Mach' sound phenomenal. The fuzzy, warm reverb you've come to expect from a TAXI record is placed right where you want it...at the forefront of mix. Hell it sounds like Cheetah Chromes' guitar on 'Young, Loud And Snotty' was fucked back to life just for this record. 'Load Point Fire', 'Killer' and 'The Vampire' are just three of the sneering, sleazy anthems on 'Yu Tolk Tu Mach'; and perfectly showcase TAXI as Rome's premier, forerunning punk band. Simple, catchy tunes played with pride and conviction. A moniker that TAXI's been proudly waving since the band began in '99.

If you're one of the few that's been there since day one, 'Yu Tolk Tu Mach' is another bench mark release in TAXI's ever growing discography. If you've only heard one of their singles, or haven't heard TAXI before; 'Yu Tolk Tu Mach' is a perfect introduction to the band. It's just an exceptional album from start to finish and another flawless, Italian contribution to the international punk rock scene!!

For Fans of: the Carbonas, Snazzy Boys, Rezillos, Boys, TV Killers, Homoplastik, PVC, Mudlarks, Slade, Hubble Bubble, River City Tanlines, Transex, Brutal Knights, Kids, The Stitches, Ivy Green, etc.
