Holy sweet mother of Jesus! Maximo Park is catchier than alcoholism! Though maybe not as safe, it could lead to unadvised dancing and obtrusive sexual encounters… wait which am I talking about now? You damn hipsters can have your Franz Ferdinands and your Interpols but leave me Maximo Park (and the Scissor Sisters). From some irrelevant and probably made up British town called Newcastle Upon Tyne, the quintet embody the sexy Sixties with their care free songs about… well I haven’t really listened to the words, I haven’t been able to stop dancing. If that is not enough they are on WARP records, the only label that really matters in that pesky little pretentious country anyhow. So, why the hell are you still reading this review, you should be playing the damn cd already. And beware… this could cause ankle injuries and unwanted pregnancies.
