Hey,

Could Maximo Park be the next band to explode out of the UK and hit it big in America?

I'd say 50/50 between Maximo Park and Arctic Monkeys.

Kaiser Chiefs would deserve it more.

Smashing Pumpkins is reuniting and playing at Lollapalooza and the Warped Tour and the H.O.R.D.E. festival next year. I think Seven Mary Three are gonna be their too.

Sure, if by "explode", you mean being blown into a million tiny pieces.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 02:44 (twenty years ago)

No.

The front guy of Maximo Park has too Germanic a haircut.

Maximo Park and Field Music(why aren't Field Music "indie big" already?) most definitely deserve it more than Franz. Franz are boring cause they're too calculating. And because Alex Kapranos have a food column in Guardian G2.

I've never listened to these guys before -- I actually like this song, although the video is annoying. I'd say it's better than Franz Ferdinand.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 02:55 (twenty years ago)

I generally dislike this trend of forced franticness in vocals.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 02:56 (twenty years ago)

"urgency"

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 02:57 (twenty years ago)

zwan best reply ever

12 Eurovision points to Arctic Monkeys breakthrough because Maxïmo Park is too big for you shallow American people you.

― Mic B (Mic B), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 03:45 (twenty years ago)

Maximo park, nah. Arctic Monkeys probably will though. And then at some point in the future Mystery Jets will to.

― parachute, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:58 (twenty years ago)

maximo park are boring.

― Savin All My Love 4 u (Savin 4ll my (heart) 4u), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 05:54 (twenty years ago)

I suppose you think television ident history is boring too.

Well, it isn't.

does MP have a new album in the works? I really liked the first one, although the Futureheads' terrible second album very nearly turned me off geordie accents forever.

dropped into the inbox 2 hours ago :

MAXÏMO PARK are bringing in the new year with three January hometown shows* in the venues where it all started. Having not played Tyneside for nearly a year, the band will be giving their local fans a chance to be the first to hear tracks from their forthcoming album. Support comes from Maxïmo Park's favourite unsigned bands from the region: Les Cox (Sportifs), B>E>A>K and Chippewa Falls.
