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 2003s 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 bands own Bremerton, WA, home studio, Panic channels the bands classic adolescent angst into a veritable A-punk-alypse Now. Its 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."
