With their brand new single “Feel So Bad,” Tax Party shows no time is wasted in proving that indie rock is alive, bruised, and louder than ever. The track takes heartbreak and turns it into an anthem that you have to play loud.
There’s an urgency that takes hold, a tension that echoes the messy, restless feeling of a relationship gone bad. But rather than wallow in the sorrow, Tax Party focuses that energy into something electric. There’s grit and openness to the vocals, they cut through with a gravelly honesty that is somehow specific and universal.
“Feel So Bad” is the sound of grief being rattled out, heartbreak pushed through in distorted guitars and a rhythm section that never relents. The fans of contemporary indie rock and alternative playlists will feel right at home here, although there’s something different about the way that Tax Party does it. Instead of relying on polish, the band doubles down on intensity, one that captures a live-wire energy that feels almost reckless in the best way.
It’s the type of song that feels like it belongs in the chaos of late-night drives and basement shows, where heart starts to tip over into volume and sweat. With “Feel So Bad,” Tax Party brings us not just a breakup song, but a rallying cry, and a reminder that sometimes the only way past heartbreak is through all the noise.
