The Colorado-based band Jesus Christ Taxi Driver will release its second album, "Taxi The Rich," in April but the band is already on the road and previewing some of the songs from the upcoming release. The members say that their stylistic diversity and tendency to write short, high-energy songs are probably two of their greatest strengths. KMUW's Jedd Beaudoin recently spoke with Jesus Christ Taxi Driver members Colin Kelly, Miles Jenkins, and Ian Ehrhart and has more.
