NEW MAXIMO PARK ALBUM “THE NATIONAL HEALTH” IN
STORES AUGUST 28, 2012
"The album’s title track [The National Health] is the sort of runaway jittery guitar anthem that we’re not getting quite so often from the UK’s postpunkrevivalists anymore."
--- STEREOGUM
"Maxïmo Park have always been best at their
fastest, when they sprint through verses into choruses and back out again
just as quickly. That's thanks mostly to singer Paul
Smith, who has a
unique ability to slip into controlled mania like a jockey cracking a
whip.”
--- PITCHFORK
“Maxïmo Park live at the crossroads of
Joy
Division, Franz Ferdinand and early Joe
Jackson…”
- ROLLING
STONE
"Maximo Park are back with their
quintessential furiously fast-paced indie rock – and it’s
great."
--- MUSO'S
