After headlining the Tooth & Nail Tour earlier this summer, MxPx is set to hit the road again next week for a leg of special free in-store performances and signings around the country. The trek launches July 17--the day the group release their new CD Secret Weapon on Tooth & Nail Records--with a performance at Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ. These dates will be followed by a week of shows on the Vans Warped Tour this summer.
Ernie Ball is proud to announce that the band--who are longtime endorsees--will perform on the Ernie Ball Stage at the Vans Warped Tour in the following cities: Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Camden. Next up, MxPx will perform a slew of festival appearances in the U.S. and Asia throughout August and September. Expect the group to announce more fall dates soon.
Fans can get a sneak preview of the melodic and powerful lead single "Secret Weapon" as well as the CD's other 15 songs on the MxPx MySpace page, where the band has posted streaming versions of the new songs: www.myspace.com/MxPx.
Secret Weapon-which Guitar World called "a glorious return to form"--marks the eighth studio album for MxPx and is full of the highly-charged, infectious anthems that have made the punk/pop trio scene favorites and boasts a smattering of adventurous, classic pop-inspired winners that take group into new territory.
MxPx--Mike Herrera (bass/vocals), Tom Wisniewski (guitars) and Yuri Ruley (drums)--has already sold over 2.4 million records worldwide in their 15 year career and has amassed a series of alternative radio and video favorites, including: "Punk Rawk Show," "Chick Magnet," "Move To Bremerton," "I'm Okay, You're Okay" and "Responsibility" over seven studio albums, an array of EPs, plus a live disc and a DVD.
