Death & Taxes was formed three years ago when songwriter/guitarist Jeff Morris (formerly of The Bruises) felt the need to start a new band. Can’t say I blame him with songs like these milling around in my head!

Think rock n roll played with a streetpunk attitude with Social D watching in from the sideline and nodding along to songs like “Orange Line” or or the more mellow but equally exciting “Hold On”. Mark Lind of the Ducky Boys already called Death & Taxes the next Bruce Springsteen and while I won’t go equally nuts about this album, I can say that “Tattooed Hearts & Broken Promises” is a solid rock n roll disc that fans of Social D and The Ducky Boys should pick up!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
