I'm freaking out to be quite honest....

I have this memory plastered in my head of these three little blond girls singing outside on the final night of a teen mania camp that my youth group went to one summer. I remember thinking about how amazing these kids were as they sang a cover of a Chasing Furies song that I couldn't give a name to other than "a song sarah and (can't remember the brother's name) wrote as a worship song after having gone through a rough time."

A couple years later, they're playing at enthos (the only semi-decent music scene we have way down here) and my friends are falling in love with them & following them around cornerstone.

Then, a couple weeks ago, I open up my rollingstone and flip! "That's them!! The towheads!! I saw them when they were like five!!" (Yes, it's a major exaggeration, but go with me on this one...)

How awesome that they've come this far. I feel like in some random, disconnected way I've watched them grow up. It's pretty incredible.

Congratulations, guys! Ya'll were stunning then, and haven't dimmed a bit.

I had the old burned ep from the last time they came down here, but I've had this new one on repeat non-stop...well...since yesterday afternoon...but still! ::laughs::

I would have loved to see them with Coldplay...

Yeah it's amazing to see them now... vrs then. i remeber how shy, and scared they seemed back then. Now they are so confident and just soooo amazing! I knew back then that they would go far... here they are.... I'm so excited for them!

ok... let's just get this out of the way... sure MxPx is poppunk... and sure my tastes have more than expanded since i first got into them. but mike hererra is an AMAZING song writer and they are uber nice guys. Everything they do is good, regardless of genre.

as far as i thought, MxPx was just an understood, am i right? no guilty pleasures involved. I can wear my mxpx belt buckle to an indie show and it's just like a wink and a nod and an understood "hey... i started there too." try to have a similar experience with another poppypunky band... no sir. not gonna happen.

mxpx are my roots... i've been into them for like 10 years since i was 14 and i've seen them live 24 times. Even if i dont listen to them everyday now... i can't stop being an honest fan. come on y'all!

who's with me???

I dig MxPx too and am proud of it. Granted, they're not in my rotation a lot, but I still really enjoy them.
