MxPx rocks. They're my second favorite band, after Less Than Jake. I saw them for the first time with NFG and GC, and it really ticked me off that none of the punk rock princesses (lol, don't ask for the story) knew who they were. In the words of my sister "I don't care what anyone else thinks, MxPx is the best punk band out there."
I do have The Renaissance EP. My brother "stole" it from his college radio station and gave it to me in...I think that was 8th grade. They did a show at his school and since he worked at the radio station, he got to hang out with them, but at the time he didn't know that me and my sister love them...in fact...he had no idea who they were. He called and said "Have you heard of this band called MxPx?" :roll:
