Bremerton's favorite sons have been a cornerstone of melodic punk since the early '90s, when MxPx helped define a generation of hook-driven, faith-informed pop-punk long before the genre went mainstream. Panic, pressed here on translucent yellow vinyl, captures a band hungry to reclaim their footing after a years-long studio absence, delivering 17 tracks of the tight, caffeinated songwriting that built their devoted following one sweaty club show at a time. 2024 Limited-edition LP wrapped in updated artwork & pressed on translucent yellow vinyl!"Something had to change," says MxPx vocalist/bassist and chief songwriter Mike Herrera about where the band found itself after 13 years, three labels, six albums and a career retrospective DVD/CD. "We were either going to slowly die or do something extraordinary, dig deeper than we ever have before."The result was Panic, their first new studio album since 2003's Before Everything and After and their initial all new effort for SideOneDummy following their B Movie/AC/ EP DVD/CD collection.Produced by legendary knob-twiddler Gavin MacKillop (Sugarcult, Goo Goo Dolls, P.I.L., Toad the Wet Sprocket) in the band's own Bremerton, WA, home studio, Panic channels the band's classic adolescent angst into a veritable "A-punk-alypse Now." It's a glimpse at a world nearing critical mass, but with a renewed energy and hope for not only the future of music, but for our generation. Tracklist Side A 1. The Darkest Places 2.
