Maxïmo Park
Muso’s Guide favourites, Maxïmo Park, have come out of their year-long hibernation to reveal details of their third album – currently being recorded in earthquake-stricken Los Angeles with producer Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Arcade Fire, PiL, Gang of Four).

There is something strangely comforting about hearing your native accent when you live away from the place you grew up. Luckily for me, I can experience this feeling whenever I go to see Maximo Park. Paul Smith’s Teesside twang, to be mistaken for a Geordie accent at one’s peril, is music to my ears.
Manchester Apollo sold out months before this much-anticipated gig, and the treat of two hotly-tipped support acts, Blood Red Shoes and Good Shoes, was a none-too-shoddy (ha!) move by the Park. The North East’s most important band kicked off with the rabble-rousing ‘The Coast Is Always Changing’, highlighting an unshakable tightness that certain NE teams’ defences could take note of.
