Where have
The Maxxturs been my whole life? The most factual answer to that query is likely 'defunct,' given this single was the only thing they made available for public consumption, nearly four full decades ago. Seriously though, this was so impressive I thought about reserving it for Chanukah, but naturally I can't always be that stingy. Ostensibly from the greater Miami area. Dense, post-punky goings-on here, spinning in the same wheelhouse as
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns-era Killing Joke, with stronger melodic chops, and even some harmonies to boot. This would also slot in perfectly with the likes of mid-80s The Sound and the first volley of Comsat Angels LPs. To be honest, The Max had even more "hit potential" than the aforementioned, especially on anthemic "This Fligan Icehole," but as I'm pretty sure anyone would attest, "It's Just Like You" is the showstopper here. Desperately wish there was more where this oozed out of. I'm making it available in MP3 and FLAC.
A. It's Just Like You
B. This Fligan Icehole
