Maybe one day we’ll live in a society with systems in place for people over profit. But until then, we can only do our best. ♥️
Thank you!

Hey there, friends. We in Carbs have decided that we want your attention to gravitate towards the things in your feed right now that can aid you in bringing systemic change to racism, your own deeper work and personal deconstruction, and genuine love to your community. Because of this, we’re delaying the release of our EP to be set on June 23rd instead of tomorrow to give you time to educate yourself further, and also reflect on what you’re seeing.
BUT, we also want to honor people that are interested in what we’ve been working on as a band. If you DM us screenshot or receipt to an organization you have donated to that advocates for racial equity and change, we will email you the EP directly prior to our official release date. Any amount. If you haven’t been able to afford so, tell us how you’re getting involved, and we will happily send it your way. We believe black lives matter, without caveat. Be well, little Taxi Carbs.
Last up, meet Jordan Schenstead (Shred)! Shred is the layer of beats and the smacker of skins that transforms our sound From “Jack Johnson cover band” to “Jack Johnson if he stubbed his toe.” Check out his responses below;
1) Top 3 Songs On Repat: “Might Be Right by White Reaper, Cabin Fever by Reignwolf, and Keep It Real Dumb By Death From Above.”
2) Drink of Choice: “whiskey rocks, or gin and tonic”
3) Favorite Hockey Team: “Avs or Flames”
4) Favorite Album of All Time: “Boston self-titled”

We’re in the third installment of our “Introduction” series of posts today, so give a warm welcome to Greg Rodgers! Greg is the guitar shredding son of a gun that brings the riffs as well as the ra**ch. Learn a bit more about him below;

2). Drink of Choice: “Any IPA or Woodford Reserve with a couple ice cubes.”
3). Favorite Hockey Team: “Vegas Knights. Fleury is the personification of a brick wall and stops everything.”
4). Favorite Album of All Time: “Too hard of a question. Weezer's Pinkerton has a very special place in my heart.”
5). Hidden Talent: “I have a bigger beard than most of the guys in the band.”

3.) Favorite Hockey Team: “GO CANUCKS GO! (I’m clearly a very loyal person.)
4.) Favorite Album of All Time: “Bring Me Your Love” by City and Colour. Hands down.
5.) Hidden Talent: “I have perfect pitch. So when a siren goes off or a text notification comes through, my brain needs to tell me what ‘note’ it is. Honestly, it’s more of a curse.”
