MxPx know a thing or a two about longevity and consistency. They've been a band for nearly two decades and have released seven full-length albums, a covers collection, four EPs, three compilations and one live album. The Washington state trio - bassist/lead vocalist Mike Herrera, guitarist Tom Wisniewski and drummer Yuri Ruley - elected to create another covers album, this time, a mostly 1980s-centric On The Cover II, which comes nearly fifteen years after On The Cover via Tooth & Nail Records.

Wisniewski says, "Our fans have been asking us to do another cover record for almost a decade now. We've always put it on the backburner but we finally just decided that it'd be a fun thing to do." On The Cover II, which was mostly recorded in Herrera's new Monkey Trench Studios, buoys with the energy, fevered pacing and melodic sensibilities that MxPx have built their rock solid reputation upon since forming in 1992.

Leave it to MxPx to turn everything they do into a lively event. The band wants the fans to enjoy this new batch of covers, but as Wisniewski says, "We will be back in the studio really soon to bang out a new record of MxPx songs!" They have also just released a live DVD called Triple Threat, which features three different live shows and is available now through mxpx.com as well as Interpunk.com.
