Maxïmo Park are an alternative rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Founded in the city in 2000, the band currently includes Paul Smith (lead vocals), Duncan Lloyd (guitar), and Tom English (drums), with founding members Archis Tiku (bass guitar) and Lukas Wooller (keyboard) retiring in 2014 and 2019 respectively. As of 2022, Maxïmo Park's discography consists of seven studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, one EP, twenty-three singles and twenty-three music videos.[1]

Maxïmo Park released their debut album, A Certain Trigger in May 2005 on Warp Records. The record was met with considerable critical acclaim,[2][3] reached a respectable number 15 on the UK Albums Chart, and was certified Gold in the UK.[4] Five different singles were released from the album, with the most successful being "Graffiti", which peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2005.[4] In January 2006, the group released a compilation album named Missing Songs, which consisted of nine B-sides from A Certain Trigger, as well as demo versions and remixes. The following year, the band released their second effort, Our Earthly Pleasures, which was produced by Gil Norton. The album was released on 2 April 2007 and was preceded by the first single from the record, "Our Velocity". The album was the band's most successful to date, achieving a peak position of number 2 on the UK Albums Chart (as did 2021's Nature Always Wins). The album also received gold certification.[4]

The group released their third studio album, Quicken the Heart on 11 May 2009, and it debuted at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart. The record was their most successful in Switzerland and Germany to date. Two singles were released from the album; "The Kids Are Sick Again", which reached number 50 on the UK Singles Chart, and "Questing, Not Coasting", which failed to chart.

Their seventh album, Nature Always Wins was released in 2021.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
