       MxPx—MIKE HERRERA (bass/vocals), TOM WISNIEWSKI (guitars) and YURI RULEY (drums)–released their eighth studio album SECRET WEAPON last week via indie Tooth & Nail Records and streamed it in its entirety for fans on their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/mxpx), logging over 300,000 plays in three days.  SECRET WEAPON also debuted at #76 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart this week.  Alternative Press (August 2007) hailed the album with a four-and-a-half (out of five) star review–“MxPx have found their center…and have produced the most cohesive CD of their career”–while Guitar World (September 2007) called it “a glorious return to form.”

       Currently in the midst of a cross-country promo tour, MxPx will jump on the Vans Warped Tour next week for shows in the following cities: Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Camden. Next up, MxPx will perform a slew of festival appearances in the U.S. and Asia throughout August and September. Expect the group to announce more fall dates soon.  "We're thrilled to have such an amazing fanbase that continues to support us. We can't wait to get back on the road and play these new songs for our fans," notes vocalist/bassist HERRERA.

       Meanwhile, MxPx will appear live tonight on the nationally syndicated radio show “Loveline with Stryker and Dr. Drew Pinsky.” Check local times in your area via: http://www.lovelineshow.com/stationfinder.

       MxPx has sold well over 2.4 million records worldwide in their 15 year career and has amassed a series of alternative radio and video favorites, including: “Punk Rawk Show,” “Chick Magnet,” “Move To Bremerton,” “I’m Okay, You’re Okay” and “Responsibility” over seven studio albums, an array of EPs, plus a live disc and a DVD.
