'CHANGE YOUR POSITION' MAKES BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR LIST
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."
RECORD STORE DAY 2018
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be doing an in-store performance at Rough Trade Nottingham as part of Record Store Day 2018 on Saturday 21st April. It’s free entry so come and pick up ‘Change Your Position’ and join us for some rock n roll!
TTH On Stage: 1:30pm

NEW SINGLE 'CHANGE YOUR POSITION'
Having recently announced two special album launch shows and a full UK tour in April, Tax The Heat are gearing up for their new album Change Your Position to hit stores on 9th March 2018. With just over a month before the album drops, the band are teasing fans with another new track. Today they present the official video for the groove-laden title track, 'Change Your Position'.
Change is good. Change is important. Change is the enemy of stagnation, a vital means to keep things fresh, innovative and exciting. For Tax The Heat, ‘change’ means something else too. The title track of the acclaimed British band’s stunning new album, ‘Change Your Position’, sees them addressing the turbulent state of the world right now and the very real impact it is having on people. “It’s looking at division in society and people using it as an excuse to do wrong and say wrong”, says singer and guitarist Alex Veale. “It’s saying, ‘Look, change your position.' It’s holding up a mirror to things.”

ALEX & JACK TALK 'ALL THAT MEDICINE'
Ahead of the release of new album ‘Change Your Position’ this spring, Alex & Jack sit down to talk through the inner-workings of new single ‘All That Medicine’.
-Watch the video below-
NEW SINGLE 'ALL THAT MEDICINE'
Today we release our NEW SINGLE 'All That Medicine' from the forthcoming album 'Change Your Position' due 9th March 2018.
-Click play on the video above to hear it in full-
Vocalist and guitarist Alex Veale explains how the track came about: “We had started coming up with initial ideas for songs for what would become our second album ‘Change Your Position’ and it was the moment we had a jam through the riff of ‘All That Medicine’ that everything became clear. For me, it is the root of the album from which everything else grew. It was inspired in part by Fame by David Bowie, the idea of cycling around a riff and a groove totally appealed to me. I think it’s the one we are most looking forward to playing on the road and making sure that riff really hits hard.”

"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

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.
