These days, there are numerous musicians who are making meaningful and thought-provoking forays into unknown sonic realms. The Maxies are doing the opposite. Originally from Nuuk, Greenland, but now based in Southern California, The Maxies are a group of goons (and one guy in a polar-bear suit) who wear coordinating red shorts, button-down white shirts and creepy half-face mustachioed masks as they "show how make best super punk-rock party and spread Maxie mania," according to their online bio. While being as offensive and immature as possible, The Maxies play loud, fast pop-punk in the vein of NOFX, Sum 41 and Bowling for Soup, as heard on their latest album, 2011's Greenland Is Melting. And the kids love it; typical Maxies shows are basically one big mosh pit. Sturgeon General, The Beam Me Up Ska-Ts and HiFi Murder will open. (Kolbie Stonehocker)
