MXPX To Release Acoustic Album

Punk rock icons, MXPX, are about to please their fans one more time. After years and years of requests, the band is going to release an acoustic album for their 22nd anniversary as a band.

Lead singer and bassist Mike Herrera produced the album in his own studio with the help of the Stephen Egerton, guitarist of Descendents and All. Emily Whitehurst of Survival Guide also lent a hand on the record, with guest vocals on three tracks, “Tomorrow Is Another Day,” “Secret Weapon” and “Buildings Tumble.”

Asked about the record, and its origin, Herrera briefly discusses the production and idea for it. “This was a request record from our fans. We’ve been asked hundreds of times to release an acoustic album and we finally have complied, just in time for our 22nd anniversary milestone. Most of these I’ve been performing live acoustically for a while now, but I rearranged some of them specifically for this release, giving the songs a whole new perspective and feel. Although these are studio-quality performances, I really tried to keep the overall sound of the production reined in and focused on the crux of the songs. All the tracks are my favorite ones to do acoustically.”

And to go along with the release, Herrera will be reporting to the acoustic stage on Warped Tour for select dates to perform some of these songs. The album is now available for pre-order on the band’s BandCamp page, where you can get “Let It Happen” immediately with pre-order.
