The Tax Collector sucked

I've been watching more movies now than ever since all the strip clubs and dim sum joints in Los Angeles are closed. I caught wind of the Tax Collector like most people a couple months ago when photos of Shia LaBeouf's heavily east-LA-style single-needle tattooed torso started circulating on the internet with claims that he actually got tattooed for his role as Creeper, a debt-collecting gangster in the movie.

Before folk-punk became the self-parodying absurdist oogle shitshow it is now, it was a pretty fun thing to partake in when you were sick of whatever punk band you've seen or were playing in for the millionth time in a row. Most of the acoustic bands and musicians I remember seeing from around this time were pretty much using these folk/country projects as a way to take a break from their main bands (Chuck Ragan and Rumbleseat from Hot Water Music, Chad Price from ALL, the Saint Catherines moonlighting as Yesterday's Ring, etc.). They were continuing what groups and musicians like Billy Bragg, the (Young) Pioneers, Tattle Tale, and the...
