Taxpayer - "When They Were Young" (2005)

Taxpayer is an indie rock band from Boston. They released their debut full length Bones & Lungs in late 2005. The band have since released a couple EPs and are currently in the studio working on a new album. Every American of legal age knows exactly what today is. Tax day is a day that makes some people very happy and some sad. I would have to fall in the latter category. It sucks to know that even when you make below the national average, you still have to have to write on check on April 15. I’m not complaining about taxes per se. They are a necessary evil if we are to have a successful society, which for the most part we do. It just seems easier when it’s held out of your check and you never see it to begin with. For some reason writing out a check for a lump sum, even though it may be small by your standards, peeves me just a little. That’s enough Free Enterprise for today. I chose this song mainly because of the band’s name but also because it rocks quite handily. So enjoy this while you reluctantly make out your check.
