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. Read Full BioMxPx 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.P., but in Yuri’s handwriting, periods become “X“‘s and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck.
Andy Husted, the former guitarist, left the band in 1995 to continue college.
Andy was replaced by Tom to solidify the line-up that would take the band into their post-teen years. Maybe Tom’s background as a drummer made up for his relative inexperience playing guitar (he had only played for a year at the time). He and Yuri lock into backbreakingly fast rhythms that rank with vintage Minor Threat for speed and percussive attack. Mike then adds to the mix his signature sing-along melodies that call to mind SoCal punk bands from the early ’80s.
Bremerton had been a town most famous for its naval shipyards until MxPx caught the attention of Tooth & Nail Records when they played a “showcase” for the T&N label in 1993 in Herrera’s parents’ garage. Mike Herrera had practiced so much before the first show, he lost his voice.
MxPx released three albums with Tooth & Nail Records: Pokinatcha in 1994, Teenage Politics in 1995, and Life in General in 1996. After a falling out with Tooth & Nail, MxPx left the label and signed with A&M Records.
In July 2010 drummer Yuri Ruley announced he would be retiring from the band to focus on his family. Ruley played his last show with the band in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 18, 2010. In a recent video message from Mike, he stated that Tom and Yuri have both finished touring full time, but will continue to play one-off shows with the band.
Wrecking Hotel Rooms
MxPx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I crashed up the car
Slept in the gutter
I'm outside your door
Saw you through the key hole
Down on your knees
There's really no reason to call the police
Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I know you don't know me
'Cause we've never met
I'm not really crazy
So don't get upset
I've got all these problems
None with solutions
Been in and out of some nice institutions
Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song

Line by Line Meaning
I wrecked your hotel room
I caused damage to your hotel room beyond what would be considered normal wear and tear
I crashed up the car
I was involved in a car accident that caused significant damage
Slept in the gutter
I slept outside, likely in a dirty, uncomfortable place
I'm outside your door
I am physically located outside of the door to your residence or hotel room
Saw you through the key hole
I looked through a small opening in a locked door to see inside
Down on your knees
You were in a position of subservience or vulnerability
There's really no reason to call the police
Despite my actions, I don't believe law enforcement involvement is necessary or warranted
Do you hold the phone when you're alone
Imagine that it rings then hold it to your ear
And wish that I was there to sing you off to sleep
Be with you in your dreams for the days I will be gone
I'll be there in your dreams and in this song
I recognize that my behavior may have caused you distress or loneliness, and I wish I could be there to comfort you. Even though I am physically absent, I hope to be a comforting presence in your dreams or through this song
I know you don't know me
'Cause we've never met
Our lack of direct interaction means you likely have a different perception of me than who I truly am
I'm not really crazy
So don't get upset
Despite my erratic behavior, I don't have a serious mental illness or intend to harm you
I've got all these problems
None with solutions
Been in and out of some nice institutions
I struggle with multiple personal issues that I have yet to successfully address, and have sought treatment in mental health facilities before

Passei QUINZE anos procurando essa música, tinha 10 anos quando bombava e eu não falava inglês direito. Hoje meu irmão me deu a dica de procurar em playlists emo/punk/rock dos anos 2000 e imagina minha alegria quando achei ❤️❤️

Mulher do céu, eu vi esse clipe uma única vez e nunca esqueci da "música que os caras descem de um busão e tocam o terror no hotel", mas ninguém nunca soube me dizer que música era... ANOS se passaram e hoje, eu tava no insta e apareceu um perfil com postagens voltada ao mundo emo, entrei e quase cai de costas quando FINALMENTE apareceu um reels com o clipe. Pensa numa pessoa que pulou de felicidades!!!!
