MxPx has begun recording their next full length. The long running band posted an update on their website, noting:
The demoing process is done… the recording process starts NOW! Yuri is starting to record drums today for the upcoming MxPx full length album
The band has posted an official announcement stating that they have rejoined Tooth and Nail Records. Previous reports had surfaced that the band had re-signed to the label but those were promptly denied.
The band notes that they had a good relationship with SideOneDummy, who released 2005's Panic:
There was nothing we didn't like about our last label, we just felt like we have to try new things and always keep things fresh. Tooth & Nail has grown tremendously as a label since we parted ways. In talking to the people there, there is a real enthusiasm for our band. It's awesome.
The new album also reunites MxPx with Aaron Sprinkle, who produced the band's very first album, and frontman Mike Herrera notes:
It's going to be a good mix of stuff. It's going to be mixed with super pop and super fast, melodic punk rock. A lot of aggression, energy and hooks. I think we're over trying to experiment too much with too many different styles, Everything is very honest and straight-forward. Our last album was the reintroduction to MxPx but I still felt like it wasn't as much MxPx as this record is going to be. We were just on our way and now we've arrived. This definitely won't be our last record, but, we want to approach every record like it could be.
