Death & Taxes, a new rock band composed of veteran musicians from Los Angeles area rock acts, is scheduled to release their full length CD in July 2009. The buzz on this band is that they are destined to become America’s next “supergroup”. Their new CD, titled “INEVITABLE”, is a blend of straight ahead old school rock, reminiscent of rock’s glorious past, brought up to speed with a definite twist. Jay Link, lead vocalist, and his bandmates, started this project on a whim. The three original band members had all played together in the 1980’s. They went into a Los Angeles studio and, after four days, came out with four songs. They started sending the four song EP around to see if it had any merit. Since putting out the four song "teaser" CD in April 2003, thousands of fans have expressed a huge interest in Death & Taxes. During the last eight months of 2003, Death & Taxes was played on over 40 internet radio stations worldwide. Two of their songs have had incredible chart success: "Trust", which charted at #6 for 2003 in the Radio Wave End of Year Rock Charts, and "Serenity", which charted at #36 in the Rock Charts. The band has also had 15,300 downloads of their songs on Kazaa/Cornerband during the past 6 months. The band has been very fortunate to work with Grammy nominated producer/engineer Eric Fahlborg. The nucleus of Death & Taxes are Jay ;link on lead vocals, Michael Cutting of Holy Soldier fame on Guitars, David Starkey on Bass, and Izzy Diaz of Neil Turbin Band on the drums. Currently, the band is a self-produced, self-managed, independent act, who will be putting the finishing touches on the 11 song CD in late AUGUST 2004. Look for a summer 2005 tour to follow.

Story behind the song
This is an introspective song about the walls we build between our children & ourselves, & yet we "Hand Down" so very much of who we are to them.
