Band history

Early start (1992)

MxPx began in July 1992 with the name Magnified Plaid. Initially, they started playing music inspired by Descendents, Black Flag and other punk rock bands. The trio—Mike Herrera, Yuri Ruley, and Andy Husted—were classmates at Central Kitsap High School in Silverdale, Washington and were 15 years old when they formed. The name was a tribute to the original guitarist's fascination with plaid shirts but did not fit on the band's posters. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.P. But in Yuri Ruley's handwriting, periods appeared as Xs, and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck.

Blood and Guts

by: MxPx

Have you got scars,
Because you went too fast?
Have you lost control and ended up in a cast?
Have you givin blood,
Unintentionally to the ground?
Shake it off,
Get up and walk around
Blood and guts,
Guts and blood,
Broken bones, and splintered wood
