Maximo Park - The Kids Are Sick Again

· Maximo Park are back, following multiple top 20 hits, a #2 album and a Mercury
nomination, with their first single from forthcoming album ‘Quicken the Heart’. ‘The Kids are
Sick Again’ is a blistering, anthemic tune supported by Radio 1, XFM, 6Music, Radio 2 and
more, which builds from a pulsating start through two choruses to a stadium-sized finish.
· Already this year the band have sold out their UK tour (30k tickets), had 95k free
downloads of teaser track ‘Wraithlike’, and taken over Newcastle for a charity show in aid of the
No Surrender charity.
· “It's time we all got some bigger dreams, so thank god for Maximo Park” – NME, “First single
proper The Kids Are Sick Again is an addictive pop song with guts, but there are even bigger
commercial moments here” – Music Week, “I have hope for any album with the good sense to
include a song called "Roller Disco Dreams” – Pitchfork, “Seething with rage again social
complacency and small town boredom, it is escapist pop at its finest. 'The Kids Are Sick Again' is a
thrilling blast that bodes well for its parent album.” – Clash Music.
· The spectacular performance video for the song, by light installation and film auteurs United
Visual Artists (Massive Attack, Battles, V&A Museum), captures the incendiary performance
of the band’s legendary live shows.
· The single is available on two 7” vinyls (both coloured) and CD, each format featuring a brand
new song. The second 7” also features a special acoustic version of the single.
