The Taxpayers- A Rhythm In The Cages

Label: Asian Man

Reissued 6/19/2026, Originally released 2009

The long awaited re-issue of A RHYTHM IN THE CAGES on COLORED VINYL. No longer will you have to pay ridiculous prices on discogs for your favorite bands music on WAX!!! This album is a fearless intersection of the personal and political. Complete with fierce shoutalongs, stripped-down ballads, and some well-placed saxophone soloing, "Rhythm" is the bridge between 2007's gleefully haphazard "Exhilarating News" and 2010's hard-hitting "To Risk So Much For One Damn Meal". This record redefines the possibilities of "folk punk", turning a handful of other nearby genres inside out in the process. The constant collision of blues, folk, country, swing, and punk rock gives the songs a volatile unpredictability that matches everything the Taxpayers are about as a band.
