Here's what some of the local press has to say about Random Maxx. We didn't even have to beat them...much.

"For members of Milwaukee's Random Maxx, being onstage is as natural as breathing. From theatre, to improv comedy, to their current musical endeavor, they have lived the life of performance to the fullest. Musically, their tastes and backgrounds are divergent. Yet their vision leads to a truly accessible style they refer to as a "sonic cocktail"...The band's true strength: four-part harmonies that bring to mind such groups as CSNY and Queen, leaving fans astonished with their clarity and consistency. [Their] latest release, "Rock Star Parking", is a collection of fun pop-rock peppered with their signature vocals, and catchy melodies that remain in the brain" - Brian Barney, Shepherd-Express "Local Music" column, April 10, 2003.

"How do you make sure people keep you in mind, even between projects? For Random Maxx, one of Milwaukee's most popular local original bands, the answer is the 'Bonus CD'. The second installment...has recordings of some of the band's favorite cover songs. The five-song, low-budget disc opens with a frighteningly spot-on cover of Duran Duran's 'Rio'..." -Bobby Tanzilo, OnMilwaukee.com, February 2003

"Each [member] has [his] own distinct taste, which is really cool! I'd have to say [Random Maxx] is probably the most eclectic local band I know of." - Melissa on WMSE 91.7 Milwaukee

"A couple of the guys in Random Maxx are also involved in ComedySportz...You can probably imagine how good they are at working a crowd, and keeping things lively. And that's great. I love a good live show." - Marilynn Mee - Program Director, Lazer 103 Milwaukee

"...If you listen to [Random Maxx'] new CD, Rock Star Parking, it is the joy of playing together that is most apparent. Their brand of four-part harmonies and tight, fun pop is also gaining the attention of more than just their loyal fans." - OnMilwaukee.com - May 29, 2002.

"Bassist Matty Phillips and Drummer Jim Schweitzer lay down a spring-trampoline rhythm that keeps each track in the air" - Shepherd-Express Spotlight - November 15, 2001.

"...They are tight, energetic, and they have fun playing." - Walworth County Week

"There are some scorching '70's guitar licks on the debut CD by Milwaukee's Random Maxx...Their original songs often feature four-part harmonies, and draw from the diverse interests of the members...Pastorius-like bass lines provide counterpoint to acoustic rock melodies." - Shepherd-Express Spotlight - February 3, 2000.

"Random Maxx is a high-energy original modern rock combo with an emphasis on big guitars, and strong vocal harmony" - Shepherd-Express, "Best of 1999"
