Black Tax

Say that again and you will be soaked in piss

About Me

Formed in the summer of 2004 through a mutual love of punk and hardcore Dave (ex bassist of Strike of 59) and close friend Stacey (ex Dead Kid Chronicles) hatched a plan to write the soundtrack to world domination. Recruiting eccentric Scot Paul (ex Shindig) along their travels the band now only needed a drummer to complete the fold. After a brief spell with the elusive drummer Alex (Ex Punch Puppet now of The Swallows) they drafted in old gig pal / professional Jamie Theakston look alike James (ex Piano). Fuelled by buckfast, boredom and the bands they love such as Kid Dynamite, Billy Bragg, Converge , Cap'n Jazz, Lifetime, Against Me, Gorilla Biscuits etc Black Tax was born.
