English rock band Taxxi release their 1982 classic album States of Emergency, which features their iconic breakout single "I'm Leaving". The band formed in the late 1970s and first came to prominence in the early 1980s with a few minor AOR hit singles and some MTV airplay.
The band is comprised of drummer Jeffrey Nead, keyboardist Colin Payne, and guitarist David Cumming, a first-rate vocalist who sings with fiery conviction throughout. Musical support on the new LP is provided by Bay Area guitarist Danny Chauncey; bassist Randy Jackson, who’s worked with Billy Cobham, Michael Narada Walden, and Herbie Hancock; and keyboard player Tim Gorman (“almost like a member of the band”).
Taxxi’s songs ostensibly cover the familiar territory of sex and rock ’n’ roll, but they’re buoyed by a wicked wit and imbued with an intelligence and sense of purpose. “The songs are like vignettes, with strong images,” notes lyricist Nead. “They’re mostly romantic fantasies, but I will say that ‘Cocktail Queen’ was inspired by an actual experience in a bar in Arizona!”
