Review: Brandtson - Death and Taxes

artist: brandtson album: death and taxes label: deep elm records released: by: rob tatum Death and Taxes is the newest EP from Deep Elm favorites Brandtson. The band is a Christian emo/post-hardcore band hailing from Ohio. The band is known for their upbeat, catchy songs. This EP is typical of a Brandtson release. A couple songs about girls and a couple about life. From the song “On Three”, ‘jump, jump in with both feet forward, don't give in to all those voices that are telling you about past failures, killing you before you've had your chance to live.’ The band is similar to many Deep Elm bands or Vagrant bands. If you haven’t heard them, they are a decent listen from time to time. Death and Taxes is exactly what an emo fan wants in an EP. Six songs and about 20 minutes long. Each song is pretty solid. Good sing-alongs with catchy lyrics. favorite song: "circa 1991" rating: 81%/100% listen to brandtson
