MxPx is a punk rock band that was formed in 1992 in Bremerton, Washington, United States.
MxPx started as three 15-year-old kids calling themselves Magnified Plaid pounding out music inspired by and similar to The Descendents and other Southern California punk rock bands. They didn’t really love their band name, however, which was a tribute to the original guitarist’s penchant for wearing one particularly loud plaid shirt. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.

When I was a middle schooler, Mxpx became a fave right along with Blink 182, Green Day, Operation Ivy, Minor Threat and Rancid. It was that whole skater punk scene except I never skated. Let It Happen was a huge, 32 song record of new stuff, unreleased material and b sides. I really enjoyed the length and still, to this day, hum “Swing Set Girl” randomly. If you’ve never heard Mxpx, it’s total pop punk and its still rad to me after ten years.
