The left wants to hike your taxes. 

Right before Christmas, President Trump signed massive tax cuts and sweeping reforms info law. Now, as most Americans are seeing more money in their paychecks, leftist groups like the Not One Penny coalition are busy scheming. They are dedicating millions of dollars towards campaign ads and events to rally around their own repeal and replace—of tax cuts.

Conservative grassroots are stronger. 

Democrats and the "Resistance" are angry that conservative tax cuts and reform have proven to be successful. But they cannot ignore reality—businesses are expanding and offering their employees $1000 bonuses, pay increases, and a sense of economic security.

We know the left's play book. They will turn to their fraudulent banner of "fairness" to try and chip away at this victory. That means they will be fighting to raise your taxes. 

Please take a minute to share the graphic below with your family and friends. We need to defend the tax cuts and push back against the left's scheme to raise your taxes.

RENEGADE HOLIDAY

VIA NOCTIS MAGAZINE

 

LISTEN HERE

EP SET FOR RELEASE TOMORROW

 

RELEASE SHOW AT ROUGH TRADE NYC THIS SATURDAY

 

FEBRUARY 22, 2018 - BROOKLYN, NY - Indie-pop band, RANN, are streaming their new EP, Renegade Holiday, exclusively via Noctis Magazine. Listen HERE. Set for release tomorrow, 2/24, Renegade Holiday serves as a follow-up to the band's 2015 debut album, Yellowgun. Prior to the EP release, the band unveiled two singles, including title track, "Renegade Holiday", which was called "sexy and intense, emblematic of Cigarettes After Sex and The 1975 with the pop breeding of a power band like Phoenix" by Popdust, and "Copycat", of which Earmilk noted, "[It's] an intriguing juxtaposition musically, with its blend of unchliched pyschedelia and unpretentious garage-band angst." In support, RANN will be playing an EP release show at Rough Trade NYC alongside Mobile Steam Unit this Saturday, 2/24. For more information on RANN please visit: http://facebook.com/rannpage.

 

Described by Thrd Coast as "Phoenix with a touch more grit, or The Strokes draped in synth," RANN are a Brooklyn-based quartet that have garnered a fair amount of praise for their collage-genre combining indie rock, dream pop, psych and punk. Although the four members initially met while studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston, it wasn't until they all moved to Brooklyn in 2014 that they decided to write music together and create the melting pot of influences that defines RANN.

 

During the winter of that same year, the members of RANN isolated themselves in a cabin in upstate New York and wrote 12 songs; 9 of which would become the band's debut album, Yellowgun. The record was officially released in November 2015 to acclaim from Vanyaland and The Deli NYC, and propelled the band onto the CMJ college radio charts, a number of SXSW showcases and two national tours.

 

During that second tour, RANN isolated themselves again--this time in a cabin in Yosemite Park, California--to write a new batch of songs that would later become Renegade Holiday. After wrapping up the tour with a nearly sold out homecoming show at Rough Trade NYC, the band went back into the studio to record these new songs that were later mixed by 7-time Grammy Award winning engineer, Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer).

 

Renegade Holiday, the new EP from RANN, will be available everywhere tomorrow, 2/23.
