Maximo Park have taken the world by storm and proven themselves as one of the last truly original acts to make it through the closing door of the new wave of young British rock acts. Their debut full-length A Certain Trigger launched a wave of frenzy in the UK that began with and endless string of sold-out shows and emphatic praise from rock bible NME and has recently ascended even further with record sales landing the band a Gold Record for the album, appearances on the legendary Top Of The Pops television program and a headlining spot on this year's NME Awards Tour alongside upstarts Artic
Monkeys. This puts Maximo Park in good company with past NME Tour headliners Franz Ferdinand,
The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs. In addition to their superstar status in the UK, Maximo Park have made a great impression on US shores having seen praise from MTV and Rolling Stone as well as Andy Warhol's Interview and a tour with modern-rock darlings The Bravery.
