Talk:MxPx

message: Yuri's Facebook profile simply says that he's in a "Pop Punk" band. Maybe we ought to take his word for it. (Oct 30 2009).
I have decided to remove the Christian statement in the opening paragraph and in the info box, as although the band members are Christian, their music is not. Therefore, it makes no relevance to put this on their wikipedia page. Mtranter 13:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Their inclusion at sites like this: http://www.christianmusic.com/mxpx/bio.html would seem to indicate otherwise. When conducting interviews with mainstream publications, MxPx' front man does tend to play down their christian affiliation. Nevertheless, the band is signed to a christian label (Tooth and Nail, which is in fact a part of the EMI Christian Music Group) and they routinely play christian tours and venues. To me, I'd say that basically makes them a christian band. NiftySwifty 21:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Sorry, but that sounds like a complete cop out answer from them. I've known country bands who tried to call themselves pop, but that didn't mean they were. Thinking back to Amy Grant, she definitely started out as a Christian singer who made a crossover and at the time I recall her past as a Christian artist downplayed. Now she is clearly identified on her wikipedia page as an artist best known for her contempary christian music who succesfully made a crossover. Just because MxPx now wishes to downplay their christian music origins, I don't see why their Wikipedia article should completely ignore their past. I'm sorry, but to me it sounds like they are simply attemping to keep from alienating their core christian audience while they try to cross over. 166.217.101.101 02:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Why should we list them as punk "according to their wishes"? I'm sure Larry Craig would prefer his entry doesn't mention his bathroom indiscretion, but I thought Wikipedia was about facts, not a vehicle for a clearly historically christian band whos trying to make a crossover downplay their past. They have historically been a Christian Punk band. Good for them if they want to abandon their christian roots, but just because now they're going on about this "Christians in a band" nonsense, doesn't mean we should completely leave out the facts that they definitely are signed to a christian label, play christian concerts, and are generally recognized as a christian band. 24.28.9.102 22:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

:I'd say under "Compilation albums". It's not a "real" album, so it wouldn't fit under albums. Also, it's just rare songs and b-sides, which is basically what "Let It Happen" is. And it certainly isn't an EP. —EdGl 22:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

:This is a mistake; they didn't go back to Tooth and Nail. The reason why they put them under artists is because MxPx is releasing Let It Happen Deluxe Edition under T&N (T&N still has the rights to it... long story). —EdGl 22:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I caught something on the trivia section that mentioned two of the members were recruited as drummers, this is not true. Tom was more of a drummer on his own time. When Andy was leaving MxPx, Tom was asked to join the band as a replacement guitarist. Tom had little guitar expierience when he was asked to join. See AP Magazine's August 2007 Issue.
The band was together for a while before Tom replaced Andy. Tom and Yuri actually played drums together in their High School band for the 3 years they spent at Central Kitsap HS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.159.125 (talk) 09:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:MxPx Banner.jpg

message: There needs to be some clarification about the genre of music they play. I'm completely avoiding the "Are they a Christian band?!" discussion, because that subject has the potential to go on until the end of days.
My point is that on Mike's page, MxPx is listed as a "Skate Punk" band. On Yuri's page, they're a "Christian Punk" band. And on the band's main page, they're listed as "Skate Punk".
Why can't they just be straight "punk"?! There's too much variation in their music. They have so many different influences, one genre title as specific as "Skate Punk" or "Christian Punk" is too exclusive in which to put them.
I'm changing it to "punk". SkittlzAnKomboz (talk) 16:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I enthusiastically agree that the articles should be consistant. I'd make them all "pop-punk," which I think is more accurate, but I have no problem with "punk." Thanks for taking the initiative. ~EdGl (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

text: At least one of the members actively identifies the band as a Christian punk band, a full 50% of the citations for this article are from christian media outlets, they continute to play Christian venues, they are signed to a Christian label, and this article is supported by the Christian Music WikiProject. I understand they also have non-religious pop punk offerings, but I think a better proposal than simply trying to stamp any association with Christianity out of the article may be to take the approach the Amy Grant article has taken. Why not say "MxPx is a band well known for their contributions to the pop and christian punk genres", or something along those lines. I believe this is likely more accurate and informative than the current article which, despite heavily referencing Christian media sources, has virtually no indication that the band has a heavy historical and current association with the Christan punk scene.

message: I have noticed that a few editors are placing On the Cover II on the "studio albums" list. It is my understanding that OTC2 should fall under something like "miscellaneous" because it is not an "official full-release" by the band. Thoughts? ~EdGl ★ 13:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A good question. Strictly speaking, OTC/OTCII would be studio albums, so it seemed appropriate to include these. However, as special projects, a case could be made that these should remain with the discography article. In that case, clarifications are needed in the section content (should indicate something like "original material"), and the section comment should also specifically exclude cover albums, compilation contributions, etc. (or include only full albums featuring (primarily) the band's original material).
