D.I.Y. Over All '08.
Such has been the driving force behind Toronto's Maximum RNR for almost a decade: Do It Yourself. Don't rely on others to get your point across.
Purveyors of hardcore punk rock 'n' roll with metal and blues undertones since 2002, Maximum RNR's Motorhead meets Black Flag sound is equaled by a frenzied, and at times, chaotic live performance. In fact, over 285 of them; including 4 Canadian tours, innumerable Ontario and Quebec shows and a 2007 European campaign.
However, Maximum RNR's passion isn't solely dedicated to the live show - as their recorded catalogue proves. Hiring producer Ian Blurton (Dayglo Abortions, Cursed, Tricky Woo) to capture their bombast in a recorded setting, the pairing has begotten two seven-inch singles, two CDEPs and a split recording on Philadelphia based Relapse Records with Holland's The Spades.
All of this culminates in their newest release, a split seven-inch with New Jersey punk rock 'n' roll stalwarts, Electric Frankenstein. Finding their sounds and styles complementary while touring together in 2003 and 2005, the groups decided to unite forces.
The limited edition (500 copies), 43g green virgin vinyl features Maximum RNR tracks "Turmoil" and the previously unreleased "The Wheel" backed with Electric Frankenstein's "Life In Rewind" for the first time on 45rpm. Cover art by Montreal's Johnny Crap and Winnipeg's Merinuk, coupled with additional art by Gary Pullin and Brett Bakker complete the full colour package.
