Comments: From the onesheet: "With a blend of old-school punk, world beat and modern pop influences, Chicago-based AM Taxi combines experience with exuberance on their Virgin Records debut, We Don't Stand a Chance." Lead singer and guitarist Adam Krier says of AM Taxi's music: "We're not re-inventing the wheel here. It's just classic rock songwriting with present-day arrangements. Ever since I was a kid, I've been attracted to the honesty of bands like the Replacements and the Clash."

We Don't Stand a Chance is full of upbeat, catchy rock that certainly aims to emulate those seminal bands, right down to Krier's raspy, Westerbergian vocals. Start with "Fed Up" and "Dead Street."
