Back in studio:
The Indie Kings of Cape Town (Taxi Violence), widely known for their uncompromising, good solid brand of rock ‘n roll, is back in studio to record their much anticipated second full length album, ‘The Turn.”

Taxi Violence, famed for their independent-or-die attitude and energetic live performances released their acclaimed debut album, Untie Yourself, in 2006.  This album received rave reviews from media nationwide which earned them a huge and loyal following.

“Enter Taxi Violence, which is the best thing to happen to Sought African rock music since the Springbok Nude Girls.”

…”They are a band fuelled by a DIY self-belief and an unflinching passion for good old-fashioned balls-to-the-wall rock ‘n roll rebellion.
Mail & Guardian – Miles Keylock

“Few SA bands are as rock ‘n roll as Cape Town sensation Taxi Violence.”
The Weekender – Caro Ryner

These masters of their craft will deliver another one of its kind rock album, due for release in August this year. “Our current sound can be described as epic, sleazy blues infused rock. It is melodic and unconventionally catchy with positive yet dark undertones.  They tell stories of betrayal, addiction, parting ways; perseverance and new beginnings,” says George van der Spuy, vocalist for the band.

Fans can tune in daily to their Facebook page to check in on the band’s progress.

A rockumentary trailing the band in studio and in their daily doings-and-happenings is currently being filmed by Smokin Gun Productions.  This will accompany the release of the new album.Untie Yourself: Re-released
Due to popular demand a special limited edition CD will be released in June for fans and those who couldn’t get their hands on the album before.  In 2008, Untie Yourself was nominated in the category for Best Rock Album. The repress will include the previously unreleased single Hold ‘em or Fold ‘em.

Untie Yourself will be re-launched on the 20th June 2009 at Assembly in Cape Town with support acts The Ragdolls and The Uncut (Johannesburg).

…”better production, more seamless song writing and melodies that will seat themselves more comfortably within your credibility cavity, you are not likely to find – ever!  Well, not at least until their next delivery.”
