Comments:

Taxi Doll calls their music "rocktronica" and that seems fair enough. It's like Garbage's mix of styles with a nod to Republica. The lead singer can emote nicely and has a strong presence. "Look at what you get" is smoothly produced and has a nice chorus. "Soft Kill" is confident pop. A very nice debut. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
