| April 20, 2022, SEATTLE – Max Creeps, the punk pioneers whose recently confirmed reunion and subsequent album news (Nein, arriving May 13 via Velocity Records) led to a global celebration, have announced a 36-date U.S. trek. Max Blastic stepped forward with a request: “Please let us know if you have a place in any of these cities we can crash after the show – it’s been a while since our last tour and I think some of the houses we used to crash at have been torn down or sold. Where you guys livin’ now?” PC Bullshit added: “Anybody got any gear and a van?” Last week was an emotional one for the duo of Bullshit and Blastic as the pair announced their break-up on Tuesday, witnessed an unprecedented outpouring of admiration with tributes from Henry Rollins, Billie Joe Armstrong, Lee Ving, Duff McKagan, Laura Jane Grace, Slash, Jaz Coleman, and so many more, and then ultimately, joyously announced not only the reunion of Max Creeps but news of a new album as well as a preview via “Burn It Down” and its accompanying video (https://youtu.be/EyDaVp3ReL0) “I feel we’ve made the record we meant to have made back in the day. If the topics seem familiar, well, WE WROTE THEM FIRST,” said Blastic as news of the album’s impending release broke. “I don’t actually REMEMBER what the songs are about but I KNOW we were the first and the best. We were and are ALWAYS the first and best.” Nein pre-orders are available now (https://linktr.ee/maxcreeps) with several, limited-edition vinyl variants available via U.S. and international retailers, Maxcreeps.com and Project M (Revolver, Brooklyn Vegan, The Hard Times).

About Max Creeps After meeting side-stage at David Bowie’s 1973 final Ziggy Stardust show at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, PC Bullshit and Max Blastic masterminded the rise and fall of Max Creeps on a working cattle-boat back to Seattle, Washington. Early gigs at The Masque in Hollywood became things of legend in late 1975. MC were soon touted in Tinseltown by the likes of Pat Smear, Cheryl Tiegs, Paul Lynde, Charo, and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. The easy access to drugs and the partying high-life took its toll of both PC and Max, as they soon found themselves planted in the Betty Ford clinic after a taut misunderstanding with the L.A. City Council on just who’s city Los Angeles was. Thus began the long-standing dislike by Max Creeps, of all cities, big or small. Following the lengthy stint in rehab, on release, the Creeps were astounded to find all of their music they played live at The Masque had been ripped off. Something that was now being called “punk rock,” had its clear roots in those early gigs. From the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Germs, into Devo and Wire, these albums that were direct rip offs of all of the Max Creeps’ songs. This has denied them hundreds of dollars in royalties… but not much more can be said about that here, as many lawsuits are pending. # # # | ||
