Jaksi Taksi is a Czech punk rock band that has carved a niche for itself in the Central European music scene with its energetic and often socially conscious music. Founded in the 1990s, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their lively performances and a punk ethos resonating with a young audience seeking a voice amidst the transforming political and cultural landscape post Velvet Revolution.

Over the years, Jaksi Taksi continued to evolve their sound while staying faithful to their punk roots. Their discography reflects a journey through changing times and technology, as evidenced by album titles like "On-line" and "OffLine," the latter showcasing the band's adaptability and commentary on the digital age. Songs like "Egoland" and "Selfie" point to a critique of contemporary society and individualism, themes often explored in punk rock. With "Optimista" and "Zachovejte Paniku" (which translates to "Keep the Panic"), they offer a complex look at optimism and anxiety in modern times. The live energy of the band was well captured in the album "Live 2002," securing their reputation as a formidable live act. As the titles "Na Běžícím Pásu" and "Uvěř A Zaplať" suggest, the band continued to challenge socio-economic narratives through their music. Jaksi Taksi's commitment to creating thought-provoking, high-octane music has ensured their lasting presence in the Czech music scene.
