MxPx

Bremerton, WA, US · 1992–present · active
MxPx are a Bremerton, Washington punk rock band whose melodic speed and earnest songwriting helped define 1990s Christian punk, skate punk, and pop punk for a wider audience. Formed in 1992 as Magnified Plaid, the trio of Mike Herrera, Tom Wisniewski, and Yuri Ruley became known through releases such as Pokinatcha, Teenage Politics, Life in General, Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, The Ever Passing Moment, Panic, and later self-released work including Find a Way Home. MxPx fit accepted scope through punk rock, pop punk, and skate punk, with songs that balance fast tempos, clean hooks, and a working-band sense of persistence. Their music often focuses on youth, doubt, friendship, touring, faith, distance, and trying to stay steady as life changes. Herrera's voice is central to the identity, giving even the most polished choruses a plainspoken quality. The band crossed from Tooth & Nail roots to major-label exposure and then into an independent career without losing the core trio format. MxPx's lasting value comes from consistency and melodic craft. They write direct punk songs that feel approachable without losing speed, and their catalog maps how a young scene band can grow older without abandoning its original pulse.
