Los
Angeles, CA, November 9, 2011 – Legendary
Bremerton, WA punk trio, MxPx will release
a music documentary entitled Both Ends
Burning, featuring footage from the band's
2008 world tour all the way to the band's sold-out
Seattle show in March 2011. In this brutally
honest depiction of the band, MxPx finds
themselves at a crossroads in their career,
struggling to find the balance between full time
jobs, and the life of a touring musician. Directed
by Bryan Buchelt of Snaproll Studios, the DVD will
be available digitally on December 1 through most
online retail outlets and the band’s website (www.mxpx.com).
The physical version, which includes over 20
minutes of deleted scenes, will be available
December 8 through the band's website. Pre-order
packages are available now.
Since
the release of their third album Life In
General in 1996, which launched them to
success with hits "Chick Magnet," "Move To
Bremerton," and "Doing Time," MxPx has been
on the road constantly, touring first across the
country and then around the world. Touring since
the age of 15, they've weathered the trials of
friendship and the pressure of performing every
night. However, the love/hate relationship of
their friendship has endured in tight quarters,
and the unexpected experience touring the world
brings has reaffirmed of the legacy MxPx
has built within the last 19 years by fellow bands
and fans.
A
documentary about both life and music, Both
Ends Burning is both a realization of how
far the band has come, and how much further they
want to go. Nearing two decades of playing
together, it was late 2010 when drummer Yuri Ruley
questioned being in the band and performed what he
thought would be his last performance as a
full-time member of MxPx at Wasted Space in
The Hard Rock Cafe, Las Vegas. At the same time,
guitarist Tom Wisniewski turned in his part-time
status as well, taking on a full-time job in
Bremerton.
But
playing that show in Las Vegas provided more than
a chance to reminisce about the past through their
first full Life In General live set, the
sold-out show helped rekindling the spark of
creativity, reaffirming that Ruley and Wisniewski
would continue with the band but would drastically
scale back on touring. Both have since remained
members of the band and are currently in the
studio with vocalist and bassist, Mike Herrera
finishing up their ninth full-length album, to be
released in early 2012.
In
addition to featuring some of the bands travel
experiences, remedies to handling conflict and
personal space issues while on the road, the DVD
also includes interviews with friends and peers of
the band that continue to support the band and
their music. Special guests include: Ethan Luck
(Relient K), Stephen Egerton (Descendants), Jeremy
McKinnon (A Day To Remember), Chris Demakes (Less
Than Jake), along with many more, add their
individual anecdotes to the story, collectively
agreeing on how influential the band has been and
the true legacy the band has built.
