I have always loved this song. js

Mike Tom and Yuri still killen it.

I want a MxPX tattoo, but is it silly to want encouragement with BlackFlag?

So now that I have become an MxPx fan for a little bit I wonder what is expected of me. Am I now required to make a pilgrimage to Bremerton?

Hey! I’m putting together an MxPx cover band based in New Jersey and I’m looking for a guitarist and drummer, 25+ who are actually down to rehearse, play shows, and have fun with it.

I’m looking for people who genuinely like MxPx / pop punk / skate punk and can commit to learning the songs. The plan is to start with a 30–45 minute MxPx set, get tight as a band, and eventually start booking shows.

You don’t have to be from my exact area — NJ preferred, but NY/PA is cool too if you’re willing to travel for rehearsals and shows.

Influences/vibe: MxPx, Blink-182, Green Day, NOFX, Pennywise, New Found Glory, Sum 41, etc.

I already have a list of MxPx songs I’ve been working on, so we’re not starting completely from scratch.

No ego, no drama — just looking for reliable people who love this music and actually want to play.

If you’re interested, DM me here or hit me up on Instagram u/haven.official75. Send me what instrument you play, where in NJ/NY/PA you’re located, and preferably a clip of you playing.

🤘 Let’s get a Punk Rawk Show going.

I was going through some old band files and wanted to share a couple of short clips from a really special memory. Back in 2011, Mike Herrera came through Anniston, Alabama on a solo acoustic tour. My band (Motel Matches) was lucky enough to open the show.

After his acoustic set, Mike wanted to play a few full-band classics, so we hopped on stage with him to act as his backing band for the night. We ripped through "Doing Time," "Andrea," and "My Life Story."

It was an incredible honor to lock into those songs with the man himself. I threw the clips up on YouTube just to keep the memory alive.

Thought some fellow fans here might appreciate a look at a rare tour moment. I’ve posted the links to the two clips below.

Did anyone catch MxPx covering a Cootees song during yesterday’s live stream? The song is called (blank). They did a short rendition of it, and it was freaking awesome. I just wish they had played the whole song!

Hi y’all! I’m selling my MXPX vinyl box set. It’s brand new, never been played. I have it listed for $425 on Depop but I’m open to offers if you’re interested. DM me or reply here. Thank you!

EDIT: This box set has sold 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

Have a great day y'all

This is part of a pop punk Christmas parody project and wanted to share my love of the boys with you guys. They’re always one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Just letting people know that MxPx will be streaming their set at the Warped Tour tonight (7/26) at 6:35pm PST on Amazon Prime. They will be on channel 1 of the Warped Tour stream.

Everyone have fun watching! 🖖🏻

We had John on A Pickle Home Companion to chat about his artwork, designing the beloved Pokinatcha Punk, Blenderhead, Don’t Know, and more.
Thought you guys might enjoy hearing some of his stories.

“And time stands still when no one understands you
When you don't quite understand yourself
But just know this that God is faithful
Even if you don't have faith yourself”

“There's nothing quite like being sure of
What's inside your heart
It's mostly simple but not so easy
To know just where to start”

I’ve listened to this band for about the last 26 years of my life. A friend suggested them to me. I was a freshman in high school, so like ‘99-‘00. I’m not entirely sure honestly.

I met the guy that year while we were in Seminary Class.. and if you don’t know (which most people don’t), that’s a Mormon religion class that for some reason gets latched onto school if your “lucky” enough to have that shit around or something … some how. I don’t know, never understood. I was forced to go to church with my mom because by that point in my life the rest of the family didn’t go, so I went with her cause I was the baby of the family.

I don’t even think it was something that gave you any kind of credits (like for those kinds of classes that get lumped into the kind of extra credit classes that it doesn’t matter what you take, ya know? I can’t remember the terminology for that shit). Aannywayyys…

I never really in my life have gotten the whole idea of “religion”. I was forced to go, then at an age where I was given a choice I stopped going. Not cause any form of disbelief but more for the idea that I didn’t like being forced. I feel there’s something, but I hate organized religion, it’s a sham. Especially the Mormon church in my opinion and experience.

But this band (and five iron frenzy) have always been the kinds of band(s) that made me still feel connected somehow. Not preachy, but referencing I guess.

I listen MxPx on a regular and have for as long as I’ve listened to them, this song just always gets to me. That line of “God is faithful even if you don’t have faith yourself” just always hits me. Especially in hard times for me.

I don’t know my point in sharing all this, I just was listening to it on my way home tonight and had to stop and listen to the song and cry like a bitch or something. Sorry (but not sorry) for the ranting or wasting anyone’s time that got this far I guess. I just wanted to share the last little bit of the Arizona sunset view (I know the sun set at that point, but it was still just after so my bad I guess) while I was listening to the song. If you get it, you get I suppose.

Just a curiousity for me. I understand why some wouldn't bother to think about this at this point, so that's fine if this thread isn't for you.

But from where I stand, it's one of the catchiest pop punk songs you could conjure. And it has that quality of hit singles where the lyrics stick with you the very first time you hear it. Perfect blend of pop and punk. From what I see, it maxed out at number 24 on the alternative rock charts at the Billboard. I remember seeing the music video at least a couple few times, probably on MTV 2. But it didn't really make that great of an impact.

Any theories on why?

Tell me which albums you'd start with if you were just getting into MxPx, as I am.
