Our new album ’Change Your Position’ has made it to No.12 in Louder’s list of 'The 50 Best Albums of 2018 (So Far)'! Here's what they had to say:
"You can’t put a price on self-belief, and Tax The Heat sound so utterly self-assured on this follow-up to their well-received 2016 debut Fed To The Lions, you get the feeling that, for them, success is not only inevitable, it’s already here. And this ingrained confidence in what they’re doing makes the obvious touchstones that provide the bedrock of their sound – the layered Queen choral bursts, the White Stripes simple-not simple blues battering, the cocksure Thin Lizzy swagger – appear less like pastiche and more like taking the responsibility of carrying a grand old torch."

CHANGE YOUR POSITION ALBUM PRE-ORDER
Our new album 'Change Your Position' will be released on 9th March 2018 and is available to pre-order from TODAY! It will be available on CD, Digitally, Limited Edition Gatefold Vinyl and Limited Edition Light Blue Vinyl.
'Change Your Position' is the follow up to the 2016 critically-acclaimed debut album 'Fed To The Lions'. The new album sees the band take a huge step forward as both songwriters and performers and the band’s unique blend of fuzz-driven rock has won them a legion of fans. The album stamps its authority right from the off with stomper “Money In the Bank”. From the staccato attack of 'Playing With Fire' to the huge riffs of 'Cut Your Chains', from the garage rock of 'On The Run' to the slow groove and instant lyrical hit of 'All That Medicine'. 'Change Your Position' is a lean, focused album loaded with an energy that is set to propel the band to headline status.
"If an album is about capturing a band or artist at a certain point, 'Change Your Position' might have happened at the perfect time. As a band we toured, found our sound, found our place and took inspiration from a world in utter chaos. With 'Change Your Position' we pushed ourselves creatively as hard as we could and it took us further into ourselves than we expected - we hope it's apparent to the listener." – Alex Veale
