How the Band Started
Maxïmo Park formed in 2001. The first four members played small shows, with Archis Tiku singing and playing different instruments. They almost broke up, but decided to find a new singer instead.
Finding Their Singer
Drummer Tom English's girlfriend found Paul Smith singing in a pub. He was singing along to a Stevie Wonder song. Even though Paul had never sung on stage before, the band saw he had a great stage presence. They started writing songs together, and Paul became their frontman.
First Songs and Record Deal
Around 2004, a friend helped the band make 300 copies of their first song, "Graffiti." Later, they released another record with songs they recorded at home. Warp Records, a record label, found one of these records. Steve Beckett, who worked at Warp Records, liked their music and signed Maxïmo Park to his label.
