AM Taxi, I must say was not at all what I expected to hear! Whoa! Their sound is great, unlike anything I've heard before. What I believe makes them stand out is the band's harmonies, while Adam's raspy voice takes over as the lead singer. Like I said in previous blogs, I like to familiarize myself with each band's music before the shows. I have to say that I wasn't all to convinced I liked them, for I heard their single The Mistake only once (and barely listened to it). So I figured I wouldn't enjoy their performance on stage. Seeing them live, really changed my mind! After The New Politics got off the stage, I was prepared to just relax and calm down after all the yelling I had done. Nope I was wrong, totally was near to losing my voice by the time they were done. 
These guys started off in Chicago. The band members consist of Adam (vocals and guitar), Jason (bass), Chris (drums and backups), John (guitar and backups) and Luke (keyboard and backups). When they walked out on stage the whole crowd didn't know what to expect (myself included). When they started I was like, 'ok they aren't that bad.' By the time they got to their 2nd song, I was jumping and yelling. I think the keyboard really added a nice effect to the whole sound as well as the harmonies! I can't stress that enough. These guys are really chill and cool. My best friend, sister and I are now totally into their music. 
Setlist for the NightFed Up
The Mistake
These are AM Taxi's two new hit singles. More songs were played but I don't recall their names. These songs are so contagious, I've had them on replay on my ipod and computer playlist for two weeks! So I highly recommend them. The lyrics are a bit 'morbid' I guess you can say but the beat and the harmonies make it hard not to try to sing along. Their style is different which is refreshing. It's good to hear songs other than being heartbroken or in love. I would definitely like to see them in concert again! Next time I will know all the lyrics to each of their songs cause I'll be getting their album when it comes out. I'd give their performance a solid 10/10 no doubt. Keep rock and roll alive boys and come back to Jersey soon!
