MxPx have finally unveiled the first new song from their upcoming new 10th studio album, “MxPx”. This beautifully filmed music video and extremely catchy new song can be heard below.

The nostalgia runs deep in this song and video and I think us as fans couldn’t have asked for a better first single. “Let’s Ride” is not only the perfect introduction to a band who have had so many trials during their run but also a reintroduction to a band you might have gave up on after their first decade.… Continued →

I have always been a fan of for KING & COUNTRY and I really enjoy this new song. I wish this group all the success in the world and I believe their new album with take them to new heights above what we’ve seen from them thus far.… Continued →
