We are also seeking a US label to release Straight Up and make a mark in the wide open US hard rock market. Promoters and artist management - please contact us at info@taztaylor.com or via our MySpace page.

January 2009

The new Taz Taylor Band vocalist is Keith Slack.
Keith will probably be most notably known to TTB fans
for his work with MSG on the '99 Unforgiven World Tour
and the subsequent double live album release,
as well as his work with Mudpie, Steelhouse Lane and others.
Keith is a real find for the band.
'We knew that finding someone to step into the lead vocal spot left
vacant by Graham Bonnet was not going to be an easy task....
and then Keith came in like a TRAIN!!'..... Taz.

Stay tuned for further updates!

Taz would like to thank Dave Ellefson and James Dunkley at Peavey
for providing backline for the Euro Tour
and Christian Winterstein at Rockshop.de for delivering

STRAIGHT UP

TTB bring you the
highly anticipated follow-up album
to
Welcome To America

The blistering tracks
Lock and Load
and
Information Overload
can be heard on our Myspace page

STRAIGHT UP was released on Escape Music on March 27 2009 and is 11 tracks of pure, raw, heartfelt Hard Rock with all the attributes you would expect from TTB plus a whole lot more!

After returning from Europe in April of last year, there was an intense 3 months of writing after which Taz and drummer Val Trainor "took it back to the garage days".

"We demo'd, rehearsed and demo'd again throughout August and September. Basic tracks were layed down at Blitz recording studios in San Diego in just three days in late September. A very live and edgy feel was captured! Guitar solos and keyboards were added the following week. In November, one day after getting off the road with Deep Purple, Don Airey did us the honor of playing piano and strings on the album's title track!

December..... enter into the picture the incredible Keith Slack on vocals! Keith was exactly what we were looking for.... and then some! We are very proud of this album."
