A bit later than usual today as I had a few things to do so if you have been waiting for today's post I thank you for your patience.

There's a few more links below as well where you can listen to more from MxPx.

Ten Years and Running was the second major compilation by MxPx. It's not a "Greatest Hits" as such but more a casual glance over the first ten years of the life of the band.

Their first compilation was Let It Happen in 1998 (and reissued as a Deluxe Version in 2006 which included a DVD of 12 Promos and a few extra tracks that were not on the original release which meant a few six tracks from the original were removed).

I was recently listening to a re-recording of their Life In General album to celebrate its 20th Anniversary (it sounds pretty tidy to me) and thought it would be good to include an MxPx compilation here.

Two new songs were included on the album (My Mistake and Running Away) and a brand new recording of their classic single Punk Rawk Show (that one also appears on the excellent Acoustic Collection from 2014).

Two years prior to the release of Ten Years and Running, MxPx had released what I think was their best album, The Ever Passing Moment, which included the single Responsibility. That album reached #56 in the US Charts and and was the highest placed album until 2003's brilliant Before Everything & After (#51 and their highest placed album of their career). The 2005 album Panic is another favourite album of mine.
