Last night, Boston’s own Taxpayer celebrated the CD release party of their new album, “Don’t Steal My Night Vision”, at the Paradise Rock Club.

Together with the Bon Savants and Age Rings, they rocked the Paradise with a fantastic collection of new tracks and old favorites to celebrate the March 10, 2009 release of the new CD.  If you haven’t yet picked it up, you really ought to.  I’ll wait.

……..ok, got it? Excellent.

The new album brings a whole lot of the fast-paced, highly charged rock sound that fans have grown to love in tracks like Gifts With Stings Attached and When They Were Young, and includes the incredibly addictive tracks Marionette and Settle Down Ghost, which were featured on their 2007 split EP with Dear Leader.  And I, for one, can never get enough of Jared Marsh’s melodic and haunting vocals.

The Boston boys brought down the house as they rocked tirelessly into the evening, even welcoming a surprise guest bearing gifts of the traditional bagpipe which left the crowd wondering just how unorchestrated the encounter truly was.  Wrapping up with the crowd favorite Gifts with Strings Attached that blended almost seamlessly into a rousing rendition of The Who’s Teenage Wasteland, the band left their fans begging for the encore.

The Bon Savants took the prize for the most underestimated band on my iTunes collection. Thom Moran is mesmerizing to watch, and I’m now on a mission to consume as much of these guys as possible.  I was tremendously impressed with Age Rings, who set the mood for the evening by rocking the Paradise straight out of the gate.  Be sure to keep your eye out for an IMH feature on this up and coming band!
