MxPx started in Bremerton, Washington, in 1992 under the name Magnified Plaid, with Mike Herrera singing and playing bass and Yuri Ruley on drums, and they played fast, catchy, big-hearted punk rock with the hooks right up front. Tom Wisniewski arrived on guitar in 1995 in place of Andy Husted, the year Life in General gave them "Chick Magnet" and "Move to Bremerton", a hometown shout-out with a chorus you can't shake.

Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, in 1998, turned up the polish without dulling the edges, and "I'm OK, You're OK" led the way. The Ever Passing Moment followed in 2000 with "Responsibility" and "My Life Story", then Panic in 2005 with "Heard That Sound" and "Wrecking Hotel Rooms", and Secret Weapon in 2007.

Several of their records have landed on the Billboard 200, and they have also topped Billboard's Christian Albums chart. With twelve studio albums behind them, Herrera is still leading the charge, now with Chris Adkins on rhythm guitar.
