Maximo Park seem to come from the strong tradition of British social
realism, of the kind embodied in Sixties black and white films by the
brooding presence of an Alan Bates or Albert Finney, as their frustrated
and, always, Northern characters wrestled with an overpowering sense of
misanthropy in a world of scant opportunity and snatched furtive sex,
usually resulting in unwanted pregnancy and backstreet abortion.
Actually, despite coming from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Maximo Park do not
sing about any of these things except perhaps the furtive sex. And
they certainly dont consciously hark back to the past in the sepia
tones of, say, the Smiths. But, there at the centre of these
tightly-wound songs are biting contemporary takes on familiar feelings
of being stuck in a small town and desperately needing to find some
energy and sense of relief, just to stay alive.
The original Maximo Gomez Park is in Havana, Cuba, although there is now
another similarly named picnicking spot in St Peterburg, Florida. The
relevance of this fact remains, however, unclear.
Maximo Park are Lukas Wooller (keyboards), Tom English (drums), Archis
Tiku (guitars), Duncan Lloyd (guitars) and Paul Smith (vocals).
