On its debut album, POKINATCHA, the Washington State-based punk-pop trio MxPx (originally known as Magnified Plaid) offers up a restless set of tunes that is heavily influenced by Descendents, NOFX, and like-minded California acts. Fronted by singer/bassist Mike Herrera, the amiable trio established itself as the Tooth & Nail label's flagship band, finding success as a Christian-leaning counterpart to Green Day, as evinced on hard-charging three-chord tunes such as "Anywhere But Here" and "Realize." Although MxPx would go on to issue more accomplished outings, POKINATCHA is particularly notable as the group's only record to feature guitarist Andy Husted, who would be replaced by Tom Wisniewski in 1995.
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.
