Last Friday, MXPX officially announced that with the help of their fans’ donations they plan to self-release their 10th full-length album – also their first in six years! Via Kickstarter, Mike Herrera and company were hoping to raise $50,000 for a proper studio and marketing budget.
“In order to self-release this record on our terms, we share this process and we’re asking for help,” wrote the band. “Our main funding goal is $50,000. With this money, the bulk of it is going to be spent on prep and marketing. We intend to self-release this record all around the world, not just North America, and to do that, we’re gonna need to advertise. We also have costs of hiring an engineer to record and mix our record, as well as the costs in fulfilling the perks in this here campaign. We haven’t been this excited to work on music in years. Our ultimate goal is to write and record the best record of our career, and share it with as many people as possible, all over the globe.”
Well, one Easter weekend later and it looks like we’ll be getting a new MXPX record as the band’s Kickstarter, as of this writing, has already raised $144,000 with more than 30 days to go!
