MxPx is a pop punk band that was formed in 1992 in Bremerton, Washington. Originally the band went by the name of Magnified Plaid. The name was changed to "M.P.," an abbreviated form of the original, and was on posters for an early concert. Yuri, the drummer, made the posters; in his handwriting, periods become Xs. The nickname caught on and the band has been going by MxPx ever since. Each letter of the name is pronounced individually. They played on Warped Tour in the 1990s.
As part of a deal, MxPx was simultaneously signed to Tooth & Nail Records and A&M Records. After A&M was bought by Interscope, MxPx was dropped, leaving them unsigned. In 2004, MxPx signed to SideOneDummy Records, and released a new DVD and Acoustic EP under that label.
In the past couple of years, MxPx has been accumulating fame. They appeared on MTV in 2002 and can still be heard on many rock radio stations. Their song "Play It Loud" is also in the the huge movie production "Lords of Dogtown" and can be heard during its commercial.
