MxPx is an influential American punk rock band formed in 1992 in Bremerton, Washington. Originally named Magnified Plaid, the band quickly gained recognition for their energetic sound and catchy melodies.

The band gained further acclaim with their live album “At the Show” and the studio album “The Ever Passing Moment,” which included the radio hit “Responsibility.” Their participation in the Vans Warped Tour solidified their status as a leading punk band of the era.
After a brief hiatus from major labels, MxPx returned to their DIY roots, launching their own label, Rock City Recording Company. They released the album “Secret Weapon” in 2007 and continued to innovate with projects like the Christmas album “Punk Rawk Christmas” and the documentary “Both Ends Burning.” Their 2018 self-titled album marked a triumphant return, showcasing their evolution while staying true to their punk roots.
