Maximo Park

Maximo Park have a new single out this week...

Say who?

Yeah, my reaction too. Except I clicked through to the video for The Kids Are Sick Again, and guess what? They're pretty good.



So I clicked my way through some of their older stuff, and guess what? It's pretty good too!

Our Velocity


Karaoke Plays


Apply Some Pressure


Turns out this is one of those British bands that have been on the cusp of stardom for a while. But there's a fine line between cusp and me having heard of them. Or better put, I'm a few steps behind on this one.

That's changing now. I have to pore through their music a bit, but you can bet if I keep digging what I hear, I'll consider catching them at The Bluebird on Sept. 14.

Although that may depend on the Monolith Music Festival lineup the weekend before...

And yeah, if you're a Mark Ronson fan, that last song up there will sound familiar. Paul Smith is Maximo Park's lead singer, who lent his voice to the DJ's reworked version.
