After a wildly successful 17th anniversary summer, complete with a fan "favorites" live broadcast performance, the punk-pop gurus of Bremerton, WA are back at it again. Now, MxPx are set to release Left Coast Punk, their latest EP (the bands first in five years), through their very own label, Rock City Recording Company.
MxPx has always been the harder-and-faster variety of punk playing bands, the band coined the phrase "Left Coast Punk" as a simple way to describe their sound, and those similar, residing from the Left Coast. It is that particular sound that is evident within the new tracks and MxPx vocalist and bassist, Mike Herrera felt the name just seemed to fit, "It just made sense to use the term, it's been around awhile, something I believe we coined, but it perfectly describes the clash of pop sensibility with the fast and hard playing that we are known for."
That clash of sounds is what hardcore MxPx fans will get; however the band did add in a melodic soft touch on a couple of tracks including the first single, "End," a tribute to some great punk and rock shows of the past. Using a style of play not performed by the band very often, melodic and fast, mid tempo and powerful, but fans will notice the signature MxPx sound. Other tracks, like "Broken," carry a more serious, personal tone, a rhythm that drives the lyrics - peering deep into feelings of being, well, broken inside. And then there's "Desperate to Understand" featuring classic MxPx style lyrics about lifting each other up and by sound alone, "One Step Further" kick starts the EP with its fast tempo, while the lyrics delve into becoming a better person.
Left Coast Punk is the bands fifth EP, but the first to be released through the bands own label, Rock City Recording Company. The band admits there is more work at hand, but Herrera puts it all into perspective, "It was about time we took this leap into the darkness, after all, we're musicians, there's no retirement in punk rock." With that new leap of faith, the band will be releasing the standard 6-song EP through major online digital retailers. As a bonus the band will be releasing a limited edition physical version of the EP as a 10-track CD, which includes an additional 3 instrumental tracks (a first for the band) and "On a String," a previously unreleased demo track. With only 500 in the limited edition run, each copy will come with an autographed poster, and will only be available on the band''s website: www.mxpx.com

Salvatore Siciliano è scomparso dopo aver pubblicato su Facebook il suo Testamento. Aiutateci a trovarlo...
IL TESTAMENTO di SALVATORE SICILIANO: Facebook, 1º marzo 2010 Mi chiamo Salvatore Siciliano e dal momento in cui leggerete questo testamento avrò una sola certezza: quella di non chiamarmi più Salvatore Siciliano. [...] Quando ti accorgi di aver vissuto la vita di altri e di aver fatto gli interessi di altri; quando capisci che la giustizia non è uguale per tutti; quando sei il prestanome dei potenti; ma, soprattutto, quando arriva il giorno della resa dei conti e quella vita te la chiedono indietro con gli interessi, è allora che ogni denaro accumulato perde di significato. Questo non è un testamento privato, redatto in presenza di un notaio e conosciuto da pochi intimi. No. Questo è il mio testamento pubblico. Ho le ore contate. Sono ancora un uomo virtuale, sotto falso nome di un nome già falso: Salvatore Siciliano. Un nome che ormai sento mio. Come mia è la carta d’identità, la patente, il passaporto e tutte le fotografie in cui sorrido davvero. Ma è tutto falso. L’unica cosa vera è che mi stanno seguendo e che, sicuramente, mi troveranno. [...] Non cerco assoluzioni, pietà o sconti di pena. Ho pagato un prezzo fin troppo caro e ho rischiato di diventare cieco. Ho sbagliato! Non mi spaventa la morte. Non ho mai vissuto, io. Ma, visto che mi è ancora possibile, prima di chiudere per sempre i miei occhi compio l’ultimo sforzo: apro un poco i vostri. Con affetto Salvatore Siciliano http://www.salvatoresiciliano.com

Great stuff to play while hanging with friends. lol I actually used to live in bremerton and everyday I was like maybe today is the day I bump into mxpx. alright, I think Im done for now, if ur ever in stl area you should hit me up I just started working with a internet radio station that would flip if u guys came through.
Just wanna pop in and say that you guys have been a huge musical inspiration to me. I can't keep up with all your new tunes. I still like listening to the older ones. I hope to meet you guys again someday. Thanks again for sneaking me and my buddies into the show in Sarnia Ontario some years ago(Don't know if you remember). I was able to buy a t shirt from the money that I saved not paying for a ticket!
We would like to invite you to become a fan of Australia's best up and coming band, The Irrits. We would appreciate any support given and don't worry we won't hassle you or bombard you with pointless emails.
