SUMMARY:A Band Called Max
DESCRIPTION:A bandcalledmax is a Toronto-based rock & roll trio with influences from Chuck Berry to the Kinks. Featuring Dave Monks (Tokyo Police Club) on guitar\, Nick McKinlay (Motorists) on drums\, and Mike Small (Meligrove Band) on bass\, these three bring a dangerously unskilled yet mysteriously tight show to the stage—somehow always on the verge of collapse but never missing a beat. \nWith two records out and a philosophy of “rock’n’rollin’ and really having fun”\, bandcalledmax keeps it loose\, loud\, and just the right amount of reckless. Expect soaring hooks\, sweaty riffs\, and a commitment to having a stupidly good time—and making sure you do too.
