These youths from Switzerland, are very appealing in the sense that they look like kids that would walk down the halls of your school. Their personality appeal is a contributer to why they have had as much success as they have had. Talent and personality are two of the most important things in my mind. If you have the right amount of reliability and talent then it's a winning combination. That's what they've got here. They're not just another commercial band thrown together to make cash, they seem to genuinely enjoy the music they make, and each others company, which makes them more enjoyable for the rest of us.
While gathering ideas for this review, I had several of my friends listen to 7 Dollar Taxi. The only complaint from them was the fact that they would be going about their normal business, and then the chorus from 'Do The Robot' would spring into mind. Filled with "You Know" and "I Know" galore, it is a hook that is sure to stay with you. Their songs have an interesting balance of pop appeal, and a rock-esque tempo. 'Red Lips' is a tune that is enjoyable for everyone, lyrics that will keep your attention, and instrumentation that doesn't over shadow anything, but supports the track as a whole. The balance in this band shows just how well they work together. Nothing is dragged down or covered up, all parts have a clear voice and there is no struggle. They are strong and assertive tunes, and never sluggish, always light on their feet. 'Jurassic Heads' is a good example, it's sound is what you will hear on a best of album many years from now. If 7 Dollar Taxi keeps on the track they are headed, their sound will have people talking about them for years to come
