Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: With 2007's SECRET WEAPON, the Christian punk-pop band MxPx reunited with its former label, Tooth & Nail, much to the delight of longtime fans. Helmed by lauded CCM producer Aaron Sprinkle, the album showcases the Washington State trio's tight, streamlined sound, particularly on the surging title track and the searing "Punk Rawk Celebrity."
Alternative Press (p.161) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "SECRET WEAPON shows off a band at the height of their career, even though they're almost two decades into it."
MxPx were a spunky trio of Pacific Northwest teenagers with discreetly Christian lyrics and a crisp, tight attack when they were signed to Tooth & Nail Records in 1994. They released three albums for the label and then defected to A&M Records, where bigger budgets afforded them grander production and a busy touring schedule. Being exposed to enthusiastic crowds during the late-'90s heyday of pop/punk paid off, and by 2005, the band had built up such a loyal following that they decided to leave A&M and record independently, pursuing a leaner punk sound. MxPx also helped pave the way for a bundle of emotionally driven pop/punk acts with lyrics that, while not expressly religious, dealt openly with matters of faith.
