Newcastle based five-piece bring their insightful sound and flamboyant front man to their Xfm session. Check it out here.

Maximo Park 'Xfm Session' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

Tom, Lucas, Archis, Dunc and Paul, the art-poppers who recently signed to Warp want to keep cool, creative and independent with their own blend of experimental pop and driving powerchords. Finding inspiration for their songs about objects of desire by looking at the dull topics average bands use as excuses for songs (Their words). Their edgy and addictive style sounds like a cross between Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes.

The session opens with the charismatic and charming ‘Signal And Sign’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]  followed by ‘The Coast’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband] and the dreamy ‘Gone Missing’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband]brimming with bittersweet lyrics.  Finishing with the unpretentious and emotive ‘The Night I lost My Head’ [Dial-Up] [Broadband].
