Maximo Park

Where to begin? I've written so much about Maximo Park in the last 12 months that I'm running out of ways to describe just how good a live act they are. Despite only being allocated a criminally short 35 minutes, they cram in more highlights than most bands could manage in 2 hours. "Our Velocity", "Books From Boxes", "Going Missing", "Apply Some Pressure" - it's almost a greatest hits set, only the lumbering "The Unshockable" stopping it short of bite-sized perfection. I can't say this often enough: Go See This Band!
