MxPx (punk, favorite bands, genre, albums, album cover)

Probably one of my favorite bands, and the favorite of the pop-punk genre.

Their sound has gone through a lot of changes, from album to album.

1994: Pokinatcha
1995: Teenage Politics
1996: Life in General
1998: Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo
2000: The Ever Passing Moment
2003: Before Everything & After
2005: Panic
2007: Secret Weapon

The bolded albums weren't really that punk, I guess, but the rest were.

Anyways, anyone else here listen to them? Used to listen to them?

My entry into punk as a kid

I downloaded them after you suggested them the one time and I love the song Secret Weapon.

Yeah, I like how they kinda returned to that speedier sound after three albums of lamer material.

Secret Weapon is a pretty awesome song. My favorite is probably Under Lock And Key.

About the only period where I'd say they lost it was 2000-2005, because they were making wannabe pop-punk along the lines of Good Charlotte and stuff. Not to mention they were signed to A&M. Thank goodness they didn't stay that way.

Sick album cover, I had it as my avatar for a while.

I bought "Let It Happen", their B-sides and unreleased stuff compilation, which has a couple of songs from that 7" on it. Too bad Amazon hasn't shipped the damn thing to me yet (and I ordered it five days ago!).

I was really into MxPx when I was like 13 and 14. My first "boyfriend" listened to them all the time, so they kind of have a nostalgic thing for me.

I love this band. The songs "Secret Weapon," and "Quit Your Life," are really cool.
