Jada Wagensomer is a multi-instrumentalist who generously lends her talent to numerous fellow LA-based outfits like Jail Weddings, Dante Vs Zombies, Baby & Guy, Streetrobe and The Dumbheads; but, a girl’s got to get her own, too! And for this, Wagensomer began writing her own music under the moniker, Brass Tax. The project’s debut LP, Brass Tax Album, spans a wide array of sounds and influences, pulling from 60s soul and garage rock, as well as classic storytelling pop and punk, all with the help of instrumentation including saxophone, violin, lap steel, Wurlitzer, wind chimes, and the kazoo. Although the sonic spectrum in this album is broad, it is all tied together by Wagensomer’s pop sensibility. These tunes are catchy. Be on the lookout for the LP, which is slated for a March 6th release date via Neurotic Yell Records. You can preview the record here. – Katrina Nattress
