Back in the mid-noughties, when British guitar bands like Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs, and Bloc Party were making it big, Maxïmo Park was right there with them. In the past, the band has repeatedly won over fans with songs filled with charm, glamour, and romanticism – and today they still know how to rock!
