“Whacked-out rock stylings"

“...effectively loose and untethered in the best ways, like a Stooges album, had that band been from 2000s Colorado rather than ’60s Detroit.” Today, Colorado’s Jesus Christ Taxi Driver finds their unbridled bravado with the new single “Lana Del Rey.” Heralding her as their unabashedly confident North Star, she is a mode the band has to snap into from time to time. With no shame, JCTD stares themselves down in the mirror, repeating the mantra “I’m Lana Del Rey” until they start to believe it themselves — Stream the new single.  Vocalist and guitarist Ian Ehrhart said, “Lana Del Rey is representative of self-belief and confidence amidst persecution and self-doubt. She is a pop icon that transcends pop icons through artistic integrity and an unrelenting sense of identity. She has it all… mystique, intellect, depth… She is a figment of our imagination.” JCTD’s upcoming second album, Taxi The Rich, will be released digitally on April 24 via Midtopia. Rapturously irreverent, politically pointed, religiously disoriented, and existentially uncertain, the suite of songs’ ethos is pure rock ‘n’ roll, but the sound sure isn’t. Taking cues from garage punk, funk, surf rock, twang and even power pop, Jesus Christ Taxi Driver assembles an unlikely thematic cast of characters on Taxi The Rich including serial killers, Lana Del Rey, Jeffrey Epstein and more.

Working to escape the algorithm, the program gives listeners early access to the new album. The early vinyl offering of Taxi The Rich arrives on March 19. Artists receive 100% of the profits and the artist to fan bond is brought back to the human level. Pre-order Taxi The Rich on vinyl here.  Announced at the end of January, JCTD is headed back out on the road for the Taxi The Rich Again Tour. The tour is proudly presented by One Night Live, a touring initiative created by Live Music Society in collaboration with like-minded organizations to provide crucial support for emerging artists and small independent venues. Launched in 2025, One Night Live is a response to the ongoing economic challenges facing emerging artists and independent venues, the initiative brings together touring support, artist incubator partnerships, and direct financial assistance to help create more viable touring opportunities while strengthening connections between artists, venues, and local communities. On March 19, the band will play a hometown Denver show to celebrate the release of their album on vinyl, alongside their close friends The Thing. And the following week, they will make their triumphant return to Boise, Idaho’s Treefort Music Fest. See all upcoming dates here and below.
