Punk Rawk Show
MxPx Lyrics
We ain't got no place to go
So let's go to the punk rawk show
Darling take me by the hand
We're gonna see a punk rawk band
There's no use in TV shows, radio, or rodeo
want to get into the crowd
want to hear it played real loud
Repeat
We'll get in anyway
Doesn't matter I don't care
If we do we should share
We're going to the punk rawk show
Repeat
We ain't got no place to go
So let's go to the punk rawk show
Darling take me by the hand
We're gonna see a punk rawk band
There's no use in TV shows, radio, or rodeo
want to get into the crowd
want to hear it played real loud
Ain't got no money to pay
We'll get in anyway
Doesn't matter I don't care
If we do we should share
We're going to the punk rawk show
Repeat

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.

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.

2020 Version:
We ain’t got no place to go
Can’t even go to punk rock shows
Darling please go wash your hands
Corona virus, touching’s banned
We’ll have to do with TV shows, radio, I don’t know
We have to stay away from crowds
Please wear a mask, don’t speak too looouuuddd ooh ohh oohhh

MxPx is so underrated for being such an important band in the pop punk scene.

They may have had an influence on the music of younger bands in the age of music videos but when they started and even got some commercial success they did nothing to help promote the local scene, shows or other bands. Bunch of self-righteous youth group bremelo prick's that hopped on anything at the moment that could help them from music videos on Christian TV between power lifters ripping phone books in half for Jesus or getting booed at warp tour for being phony shit talkers.

@Bull's StrengthI thought they just got it from the show, like MxPx did.

@frarfarf I think people tend to forget just how much Green Day had lost popularity by the late 90s. There was Good Riddance/Time Of Your Life, but that was about it. It’s why they did the Pop Disaster Tour with Blink to regain some relevancy with the new gen of pop punk fans. It really wasn’t until American Idiot that they blew up back into the spotlight.
As for Blink, they got lucky getting featured in American Pie and overall, just being an extremely comedic and charismatic band; Travis’s drumming and Tom’s infectious riffs really made them hard to forget as well.
NOFX was always somewhat of an anomaly to me. They always seemed to be the band kids always insisted on being into so they wouldn’t be called “posers” for being into Blink, Sum 41, Simple Plan, etc., even though in the mainstream, they weren’t actually given all that much attention like the other bands, mainly due to remaining indie.

@Ace Alice I think that was a sellout album, though, and while it's a guilty pleasure of mine, I don't think it is very representative of their music. Their new(ish) album, though, I'd argue does. It is a bit boring at times, but I think that most songs at least show craftmanship.
Ace Alice
They had great songs they just weren’t straightforward or Poppy enough, they honestly had the shot in the early 2000s, The song everything sucks it’s a great song but it’s not good enough to be a straightforward hit, Mike is a great songwriter but you can tell he doesn’t really take time to edge up his work

When I was 14, my cousin who was 17 lived with us for a while. He would constantly play this and got me hooked to it.
OK Jeffy
