Paul can only sing when he's not running around stage. He gets out of breath and becomes INSANELY pitchy and off key. It's sad because he is a good singer, but he is terrible live usually.
Maximo Park sounds fantastic live, hopefully I get the chance to assist to one of their concerts, I mean come on how many bands sound great live? not that many! most bands sound like crap without sound editing.
YES!!!!!! It is my favorite album of all time--a must have. Highlights: Apply Some Pressure, Graffiti, I Want You to Stay, Going Missing, Signal and Sign, Kiss You Better. The amazing melodies really get stuck in your head over time. Wonderful stuff!
I know the band have been around for a few years now, but they are now beginning to get the recognition that they so rightly deserve. The hard word has paid off at last lads. 'Mon the Park.

Maximo Park are the most awkward stars I've ever seen! They are brilliantly understated in the way they act between songs, no airs or graces. And just great lads, have met them after LOADS of gigs and they love to just chat with fans who wait for them.
Awesome band...I saw them at T in the Park last year, they were amazing. I'm going to see them again in May, I can't wait...the new album is goint to be fantastic!
awesome :-)
I really love his voice!

I can't agree...How often did you see them live? Of course, you get out of breath when you're jumping around but he's quite fit!!

Paul Smiths voice is just electrifying, even with the acoustic!
they did a good job with graffiti, well he did..
like someone said, must be ahrd to create the same impact that graffitti is meant to have without the amps and drums!
they can do no wrong in my opinion! truly amazing band, and amzzing lyricist.

Thanks for posting, great video.
I am actually gay for Paul Smith <3
What a voice, even when the music from the energy is somewhat subdued.
Love that version of Graffiti, must be very difficult for him to create the same sound that the band do by himself on a acoustic.
