After a summer of appearances at some of America's largest music festivals and a recent sold-out performance at Atlanta's Terminal West, the Oyster Bay, New York quartet Tauk is proud to announce the release of their new dual-disc album, HEADROOM. Known for their explosive live performances, the album showcases tracks from the heavy instrumental rock-fusion onslaught recorded during their 2015 non-stop touring schedule. This fall, Tauk continue their cross-country trek in support of HEADROOM with dates across the US (see below for a full list of performances). HEADROOM, mixed by Grammy-winning producer Robert Carranza (Mars Volta, Jack Johnson) features 16 hard-hitting technically inspired instrumental tracks including a jam-rendition of Nirvana's classic "In Bloom". The album seamlessly blends a mix of transcendent melodic rock, fusion, funk, progressive rock, hip hop and jazz into a two-disc exhibition of hand selected performances recorded at The NorVa (Norfolk, VA), The National (Richmond, VA), The Madison Theater (Covington, KY), The Ritz (Raleigh, NC), Iron Works (Buffalo, NY), The Southern (Charlottesville, VA), AURA Music Festival (Live Oak, FL), and Terminal West (Atlanta, GA).

Love it, so will you
This album plays like it is one 2 hr concert instead of a few songs from a bunch of different shows. The sound quality does not change throughout the album. It's just missing a lot of audience noise and stage chatter. It flows effortlessly from one song to the next beautifully. This is a great live album from a very tallented band. I will definitely get their other albums I don't have already.

This is pretty much a new band that I wanted to check ...
I just wrote these same comments about the Collisions album, but seeing I purchased these two albums together I think the same comment fits. This is pretty much a new band that I wanted to check out so I really didn't know what to expect. All-in all I am pleasantly surprised and for sure will purchase more Tauk albums.

where the other band members happily gorge themselves
Instrumental musical conversation between musicians, not fame seekers. AC (drummer) sets the table for the musical feast, where the other band members happily gorge themselves. Methany-esq, with a funk rock cool jazz vibe. I herad Tauk as an opener to Umphrey's McGee (Beacon theater-NY). One of the few times where the CD lived up to the live show, albeit, Headroom is a live CD. Really liked it; musicians music.
