Background notes
Archive material and source history
Death & Taxes formed in Los Angeles in the late 1990s around singer-songwriter Josh Todd and guitarist Ben Burnley. They worked through lineup changes and label indifference, building their sound through live shows before releasing their self-titled debut album in 2006. That record included 'All These Things,' a song that connected with listeners and helped push the band into wider recognition.
Their lyrics often touched on personal struggles and darker themes, which drew some criticism alongside the acclaim. The band's run was relatively short, internal tensions led to a split in 2014, with Todd pursuing solo work and Burnley later forming Breaking Benjamin. They reunited briefly for live shows in 2018, but haven't released new material since.
Beyond 'All These Things,' their catalog includes songs like 'Better Days,' 'Hold On,' and 'Love Letters On Skin' that carried a similar direct, guitar-driven feel. The music holds up as a straightforward document of that early 2000s rock moment, without much polish or pretense.
