NEW YORK, NY, October 1, 2012 -
Maximo Park, the double platinum powerhouse return to their native New
Castle after a triumphant Fall U.S. Tour - The band’s first tour in five
years - with a fresh new video for their latest single “Undercurrents.”
“I like to write descriptive parts to all of the songs so the listener
can get a sense of place within the song and these words had a nice ring to
them. When I was a kid I listened to the traffic outside as it drove past
in the rain, says Paul Smith of “Undercurrents.”
Maximo Park’s U.S. tour was
supported by the recent release of their 4th album “The National
Health via Straight To The Sun Records (part of The Musebox Label
Group) and include eight U.S. dates (Major cities including Boston,
Philadelphia, New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, San Francisco and Los
Angeles). Supporting acts for their US tour dates included buzz bands
Stagnant Pools, Zambri, and The Neighbourhood.

PRAISE FOR MAXIMO
PARK:
The larger point
is that with The National Health, Maxïmo Park has reclaimed
what made it great and reminds of what it is capable of. There is much to
fawn over here. This is the Maxïmo Park we know and
love.
--- UNDER THE
RADAR MAGAZINE
"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 postpunk
revivalists 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."
