Release Notes:
The Christian-themed punk-pop outfit MxPx formed in 1993 in Bremerton, WA.
Originally dubbed Magnified Plaid, the group launched while its three members --
vocalist/bassist Mike Herrera, drummer Yuri Ruley, and guitarist Andy Husted --
were still attending high school. The moniker was later shortened to MxPx after
Ruley abbreviated the name on some show flyers; poor handwriting saw the periods
being interpreted as x's instead, and the name stuck. Wielding an energetic
sound that was inspired by the Descendents, NOFX, the group's own Christian
faith, and California's skateboard culture, the band wasted little time
attracting a local following.
By the time Ruley and his bandmates received their driver's licenses, the trio
had already released several 7" singles and a debut album, Pokinatcha, for Tooth
& Nail Records in 1994. It quickly became the label's best seller and prompted
the release of the band's sophomore effort, Teenage Politics, late the next
year. By this time, Husted had been replaced by guitarist Tom Wisniewski, and
the group quickly followed the release of Teenage Politics with a short
collection of cover songs entitled On the Cover. Popular with the skate/surf
community as well as the punk underground (with a snowboard sponsorship to their
name), MxPx ultimately broke out of the underground in 1996 with their classic
third LP, Life in General. The album included such fan favorites as "Chick
Magnet" and "Move to Bremerton."
Though dubbed a Christian punk band, religious themes were never an
overbearingly dominant force in the band's songs, as they usually relied on such
universal themes as growing up. Furthermore, as MxPx progressed in their career,
their songs gravitated toward the secular side of things even further. Slowly
Going the Way of the Buffalo, the band's debut for major label A&M, appeared in
1998. That fall, they also released the compilation album Let It Happen on their
old Tooth and Nail label; the odds-and-sods collection contained B-sides, demos,
and other stray tracks. The live recording At the Show showed the band's ability
to re-create their spunky music in concert, and The Broken Bones EP appeared
2000 before their next full-length, The Ever Passing Moment, arrived in the
spring.
Another effort, The Renaissance EP, was followed two years later with MxPx's
first greatest-hits release, Ten Years and Running. The band's next official
studio effort came in the form of 2003's Before Everything & After, an album
that alienated some fans with its slick, pop-oriented nature. Late 2004 saw the
release of a career retrospective DVD, B-Movie, and the guys passed the
following summer by returning to the Vans Warped Tour. MxPx then returned to
form (and back to the indie leagues) with their seventh studio album, Panic,
which surfaced in June 2005 on the Side One Dummy label. MxPx spent summer 2006
on the road with ska-punkers Reel Big Fish before dropping their next record,
Let's Rock, that October. Let's Rock was comprised of previously unreleased
tracks from recording sessions dating back to 2000. The next month, Tooth & Nail
reissued a deluxe version of MxPx's 1998 rarities compilation Let It Happen,
including a bonus DVD and several unreleased songs. MxPx then confirmed in early
2007 that they'd re-signed with Tooth & Nail with the intention of releasing
their new album that summer, and release it they did, with Secret Weapon hitting
stores in the middle of that year. They remained on the roster for the 2009
release of On the Cover II, another covers album that paid tribute to the band's
early days while showing their appreciation for the likes of the Clash, Ramones,
and the Go-Go's.
